It should be in admin/fuctions.php in a function called vbdate(); if I'm correct. It definatly should be that file though.

Don't be so impatient.

I just know thats the function, I'm not too sure on the value though.

[khaleejy]

hey look ive tried:
setlocale (LC_ALL, 'ar_AR');
and
setlocale (LC_ALL, 'ar_KW');

non of them works!!! do anybody know why?

yes the date() function is regular php coding... if you'd like some faster answers why don't you go read the php.net/manual/en/ go check out the date function there ;) regards...

In the thread i posted it shows a function which is used to set the locale of the script. The thing is the server has to have the locale settings available.

Ask your host which ones are installed.

Without Hacking Solution:

Admin CP/Vb Settings/Format for registration date:
Change it to d-m-Y or m/Y

This will not translate the month names but will show them in numeric format so will apply to every language..

That's how I use (http://www.turkhukuksitesi.com/hukukforum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1811).. If it fits to you..

PPN,
i dont need to ask i can find the scripts there /usr/lib/locale and yes there is an ar_KW script but it setlocale() still doesnt work
