all the component is in turkish except dates.... in lang file they are in turkish too...



vers: ExtCalendar_Component_v0.9.1

When you say dates - you mean the month names?
I believe that those are actually not pulled from the language file, but based on the locale setting in the language file..and as it depends on your server system the locales setting in your language file may not be correct. (or no turkish locale installed)

Btw, have you done a new translation? or are you using an existing one?

I have the same problem, but with Dutch translation. Joomla 1.0.11 and ExtCal 0.9.2. But it's not only in ExtCal. It's also with items posted on the frontpage, the dates under news items are in english too.

So could it be Joomla is still using some english stuff even though the languages are different?

Edit:
Found a solution! Go to your global config, click locale and in the bottom field it probably still says: "en_GB". I changed this to "nl_NL" and it worked! everything is in Dutch now

I have my Joomla 1.0.11 (spanish edition) with the locale "es_ES" but still the dates and month appear in English. I guess it is the database setting...any help? 

I learned something new about how PHP handles dates...

There are different functions that can be used to display dates.  One that is commonly used is date().  date() will output a date in a specified format.  But it does not respect the locale setting.  This means that month names will not be translated.

On the php.net reference page for the date function, we find:
To format dates in other languages, you should use the setlocale() and strftime()  functions instead of date().

The issue is with Joomla! and with the Extcalendar code.  I hadn't realized this difference until now!
