I'm currently using the LIM!T skin for my date and I'm wanting to change the display of the month from English to Japanese, eg. "May" to "5月" and "Sunday" to "日曜日" I'm a bit lost lol.

Here's the code.

Thanks!

Maybe you can use "Substitute=" expression for this puropose, I think.

Code: Select all

[mMonthName]
Measure=Time
Format=%b
Substitute="Jan":"１月","Feb":"２月","Mar":"３月","Apr":"４月","May":"５月","Jun":"６月","Jul":"７月","Aug":"８月","Sep":"９月","Oct":"１０月","Nov":"１１月","Dec":"１２月"

And I can't find a measure that gets name of the day of week in your code, but for example...

Code: Select all

[mDayWeekName]
Measure=Time
Format=%A
Substitute="Monday":"月曜日","Tuesday":"火曜日","Wednesday":"水曜日","Thursday":"木曜日","Friday":"金曜日","Saturday":"土曜日","Sunday":"日曜日"

Thanks heaps! The Month names seem to be functioning properly, but the Japanese characters are displaying as ?'s. Would you happen to know how to make it display properly?

How is the definition of "FontFace=" in the sText section described in #@#styles.ini?

And the value of a variable "fname"?

Or... how is the encoding of your ini file, shift-JIS or UTF-16/8?

As an answer to the original question, I'd say that instead of applying a substitution, I'd add a FormatLocale=ja-JP option to the Time measures of the code (eg the [mMonthName] measure, which returns the name of the month). This option "translates" the name of the month to the appropriate language.
