 * Hi,
 * Firstly, congratulations for the excellent plugin.
    How can I set the localization
   of the calendar to Portuguese Brazilian? Week and month names display in English.
   My wordpress install is localized. Thank you.

 * hi,
 * did you mean the default EM calendar? EM calendar uses wordpress date_i18n – 
   [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/date_i18n](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/date_i18n)
 * also, are you using wordpress language? e.g. [http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language#Brazilian_Portuguese_.28pt_BR.29](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language#Brazilian_Portuguese_.28pt_BR.29)

 * I mean both EM calendar and WP fullcalendar alone. Week days (monday, tuesday
   etc) and months apear in English although my wordpress installation is the pt_BR
   downloaded from the localized brazilian wordpress site.
    So it should show months
   and week days in portuguese, just as dates show in pt_BR, shouldn’t it? It’s 
   not happening. For a personal project it makes no difference, but for a professional
   project, it does. Do you know how to address this?

 * there’s some calendar bits that need to be translated within the php file
 * if you see wp-fullcalendar.php around lines 120-140 you’ll see two sections that
   require a pt translation

 * Hi, thank you for the hint. I changed these bits in my local files and it seems
   to be working fine now. The file missed strings for pt_BR language. Here’s what
   I included in the file:
 * Right after line 131 and before the comment “//extra WP FUllCalendar translations
   here please”:
 * ‘pt_BR’=>array(‘closeText’=>’Fechar’,’prevText’=>’Anterior’,’nextText’=>’Próximo’,’
   currentText’=>’Hoje’,’monthNames’=>array(‘Janeiro’,’Fevereiro’,’Março’,’Abril’,’
   Maio’,’Junho’,’Julho’,’Agosto’,’Setembro’,’Outubro’,’Novembro’,’Dezembro’),’monthNamesShort’
   =>array(‘Jan’,’Fev’,’Mar’,’Abr’,’Mai’,’Jun’,’Jul’,’Ago’,’Set’,’Out’,’Nov’,’Dez’),’
   dayNames’=>array(‘Domingo’,’Segunda’,’Terça’,’Quarta’,’Quinta’,’Sexta’,’Sábado’),’
   dayNamesShort’=>array(‘Dom’,’Seg’,’Ter’,’Qua’,’Qui’,’Sex’,’Sáb’),’dayNamesMin’
   =>array(‘Do’,’Se’,’Te’,’Qu’,’Qu’,’Se’,’Sa’),’weekHeader’=>’Sem’,’dateFormat’=
   >’dd/mm/yy’,’firstDay’=>1,’isRTL’=>false,’showMonthAfterYear’=>false,’yearSuffix’
   =>”)
    );
 * Right after the item starting with ‘pt’ below the above mentioned comment:
    ‘
   pt_BR’ => array(‘buttonText’ => array(‘today’=>’Hoje’,’month’=>’Mês’,’week’=>’
   Semana’,’day’=>’Dia’)),
 * I hope you find it useful and once again thank you for this nice piece of plugin.

 * Sorry, I forgot to wrap to the code. Some accent marks got messed up. Here’s 
   the right code:
 * `
    'pt_BR'=>array('closeText'=>'Fechar','prevText'=>'Anterior','nextText'=>'Próximo','
   currentText'=>'Hoje','monthNames'=>array('Janeiro','Fevereiro','Março','Abril','
   Maio','Junho','Julho','Agosto','Setembro','Outubro','Novembro','Dezembro'),'monthNamesShort'
   =>array('Jan','Fev','Mar','Abr','Mai','Jun','Jul','Ago','Set','Out','Nov','Dez'),'
   dayNames'=>array('Domingo','Segunda','Terça','Quarta','Quinta','Sexta','Sábado'),'
   dayNamesShort'=>array('Dom','Seg','Ter','Qua','Qui','Sex','Sáb'),'dayNamesMin'
   =>array('Do','Se','Te','Qu','Qu','Se','Sa'),'weekHeader'=>'Sem','dateFormat'=
   >'dd/mm/yy','firstDay'=>1,'isRTL'=>false,'showMonthAfterYear'=>false,'yearSuffix'
   =>'') );
 * `
    'pt_BR' => array('buttonText' => array('today'=>'Hoje','month'=>'Mês','week'
   =>'Semana','day'=>'Dia')),

 * It didn’t fix. Please, beware of this when using this code. Accent marks should
   be ‘ó’, for instance, to be rightly rendered as ó.
    Sorry for the little mess.

 * I’m confused by
 * > Accent marks should be ‘ó’, for instance, to be rightly rendered as ó.
 * could you rephrase?
 * btw, someone else submtted a portuguese translation a few weeks ago (sorry, forgot!),
   I’ll be adding that one to the next update, but I can compare with this one to
   see the difference

 * Sorry Marcus. I made the mistake.
    What I mean is that accented characters should
   not be included in your code, like ó, á and ê. Instead they should be encoded
   for html as `&oaculte;`, `&oaculte;` and `ê`. That’s just it. Hope this
   helps.
