Unexpected language with date

[janpep]

Hello,
I have been using Domoticz for quite a few years, but I am new here to the forum.
In my dzvents script I get the output of the requested full monthname in English, while I expected it in Dutch.
Before making the translation myself, I look for the cause of this. I hope someone can help me.

The documentation states: "mmmm -- full monthname(e.g September) language depends on locale."
The language settings in Domoticz and in OS are Dutch.

The command used to get the daynumber and full monthname of tomorrow gives me "15 March" instead of "15 Maart"

Code: Select all

domoticz.time.dateToDate(domoticz.time.rawDate, 'yyyy-mm-dd', 'dd mmmm', 86400 )

I wonder if this is a bug or caused by settings.

Environment:
I am running Domoticz under Ubuntu 22.04 (with the language setting Dutch) as a virtual machine on Synology DS718+.

See the locale setting I get in the Ubuntu terminal:

Code: Select all

Terminalprompt$ locale
LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="nl_NL.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

The Full monthname is shown in Dutch.

Code: Select all

Terminalprompt$ date +%B
maart

Not an expert but in Time.lua there is a function with a reference to 'locale' as stated in the wiki;

Code: Select all

	function self.localeMonths()
		local months =
		{
			january = 1, february = 2, march = 3, april = 4, may = 5, june = 6, july = 7, august = 8,
			september = 9, october = 10, november = 11, december = 12, jan = 1, feb = 2, mar = 3, apr = 4,
			jun = 6, jul = 7, aug = 8, sep = 9, oct = 10, nov = 11, dec = 12
		}

Don't know if it's dangerous to modify this part of the /runtime/ part to the desired language but it would be nice..

When necessary I use this:

Code: Select all

local dL = {"Zondag", "Maandag", "Dinsdag", "Woensdag", "Donderdag", "Vrijdag", "Zaterdag"}
local mL = {'Januari', 'Februari', 'Maart', 'April', 'Mei', 'Juni', 'Juli', 'Augustus', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'}

local NextDay = dz.time.makeTime(sTime)
local MesDate = dL[NextDay.wday]..', '..string.format("%02d", NextDay.day)..' '..mL[NextDay.month]..' '..tostring(NextDay.year)

Thanks for your responses.
Because of the statement "language depends on locale", I expected that dzvent would take the value from the OS language that is set, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Confusing.
Since I don't want to get stuck in this, I will continue to do the translation locally for the time being.
