Problem with Japanese month names

Hello again,

I realize it may not be easy to find someone with the answer to this, but I thought I'd ask here anyway.

I would like to be able to use the Japanese language but when I do, the serendipity translations work but the dates are in English. I realize this may be an OS or PHP issue:

PHP 4.3.10
FreeBSD 4.7

Code: Select all

/usr/share/locale/ja_JP.utf8:
total 919
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  441742 29 Jan 00:56 LC_COLLATE
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  479864 29 Jan 00:56 LC_CTYPE
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel     512 29 Jan 00:56 LC_MESSAGES/
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     290 29 Jan 00:56 LC_MONETARY
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel      54 29 Jan 00:50 LC_NUMERIC
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    5409 29 Jan 00:56 LC_TIME
Can anyone help find where to look to solve for minor problem?

Since the japanese date works on Tadashi Jokagi's machine it really is an issue of your OS - maybe you can try to use a different ja_JP locale?

Sadly it's nothing that can be solved on Serendipity level...

I know I'm just fishing here, in case someone can help.

It looks like the non UT8 Japanese works, adding insult to injury :)

I reinstalled an LC_TIME file from somewhere else but that didn't help.
