When trying to print the date with formate_date as below:
<?php
print format_date(time(), $type = 'custom', $format = 'd F Y', $timezone = NULL, $langcode = 'fr');
print format_date(time(), $type = 'custom', $format = 'd F Y', $timezone = NULL, $langcode = 'fr');
?>
I only can get this result:
09 March 2011
The word "March" is in English, but not in French. It is not working for me. All results are formatted in English.
Ok, the method i used is corrected. The reason why it still display the english word is that, the language patch is not right! I have to download the language patch and import it in the backend.
Here is the url of the language patch: http://ftp.drupal.org/files/translations/6.x/drupal/
Have fun with Drupal!
