Hmm - in trying to avoid such issues I switched to using Qt to give us correctly localized names - but it didn't have the formats that we needed so I had to manipulate what's there... We're replacing weekday and month name with abbreviations - which works fine in the languages that I speak but appears to fail in Swedish, based on what you say. Oops. We mangle "dddd'en' 'den' d:'e' MMMM yyyy" into "ddd'en' 'den' d:'e' MMM yyyy" bsically replacing long day name and month name with their short alternatives. I don't know how many languages this creates a problem for. I don't really want to use the long names for space reasons. Another option would be to special-case this for Swedish :-( /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@hohndel.org http://lists.hohndel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
