 * Hi,
 * Date (month) is in English language, I want to change this into my own language.
 * How can I localize the date in the php file?

 * The plugin uses the date() function and extracts the to DMY. There is a php function
   called setlocale() which I should be able to use. This allows you to set your
   country code.
 * I shall have a play tomorrow. Not sure about adding a drop down or just adding
   a link to the ISO list of country codes.
 * Expect V1.2 very soon

 * I’ve added the function to my test site but I’ve only got the en_EN locale installed
   on my server.
 * Guido, can you email me so I can send you the test code to find out if it works
   locally for you. Email is graham at aerin.co.uk

 * All sorted. The date icon will now display the date in your server locale. If
   you are in India and use cheap hosting in the USA then you will se US dates. 
   But if you host locally (as you should) then all will be OK.
