   Hello guys and galls

   I use DutchDate http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dutchdate/ to translate dates in a wordpress blog. It works nice. I changed it a bit, so now it also changes the first capital of the month name.

   It works for the_time, the_date, and prolly also for the_modified_date and the_modified_time.

   It does a simple replace (i deleted all values but one for the sake of brevity):
   

   function multipop_date_replace($text) {
   	$days_english = array('Monday');
   	$days_dutch = array('Maandag');
   	$text = str_replace($days_english, $days_dutch, $text);
   	return $text;
   }

   And then it does:
   

   add_filter('the_time', 'multipop_date_replace');

   I assumed that adding
   

   add_filter('comment_date', 'multipop_date_replace');

   would do the trick to also change the date below comments. It does not.

   <a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
       <?php comment_date('j F Y') ?> om <?php comment_time() ?> uur
   </a>

   returns: 17 March 2009 om 16:35 uur

   whereas
   

   <small><?php the_time('l j F Y \o\m H:i \u\u\r') ?></small>

   returns: Dinsdag 17 maart 2009 om 16:30 uur

   Can anyone help me please?
   Cheers

   Well, a mail from the creator of the plugin gaven me the answer :-)
   I am happy now. He will update the mod, but i will also post it here for reference:

   Add the following line to the bottom of the file, so just below 'add_filter('the_modified_date', 'multipop_date_replace');'
   

   add_filter('get_comment_date', 'multipop_date_replace');

   use the following code in the comment.php
   

   <a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
      <?php echo get_comment_date('j F Y') ?> om <?php comment_time() ?> uur
   </a>

   The get_comment_date does work, the comment_date does not :-) Don't forget to add 'echo' before 'get_comment_date'

   Cheerios!
