problem with date output

Hello!
I want s9y to display german days and months.
I selected "german" in the general properties, left "utf-8" unchanged, because changing to "national" corrupts the special characters.
So I end up with "october" (instead of "oKtober"), "friday" instead of "Freitag"
I'm completely clueless what to change to get this right...

Hi!
Your server needs to support the german locales, i.e. "de_DE.UTF-8". You might need to contact your server provider to ask them to install the german locales so that those names can be used.

So, locales not installed yet - next problem:
I am searching for the right formatting of day/month/year in the appropiate fields (serendipity_date; serendipity_recententries), the right file to change respectively.
My guess is, it's somewhere hidden inside the "index.php" and I have some clues, but no evidence.
The date in the heading line is now ok: "name of day/day/month/year".
But the recent entries in the sidebar remain "name o. d./ month/ day / year".
#2 I want to reduce the output to xx.yy.zz ( instead of n.o.d., xx.yy.zzzz), but how? *g*
I know something about HTML & stuff - but php is a blank spot on my mental map...
Thanks in advance,
Lasse Wittfoth

Hi!
The date format of the sidebar plugin is configured in the plugin itself. You can check the available modifieres on
www.php.net/date.
