Hello,

You could play with languages overrides
Search for the consant the text "september" and create override with the new text "sept"
Do the same for the other months

Have a good day

To generate the date in the first place you'd need to use PHP codes for date formats (?) in your coding.
https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php

Whatever you're trying to change might need a layout override (more than a language override).

This extension could be handy - allows you to replace values in the database with other values e.g. September to Sept etc.

https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/db-replacer/ or its companion, https://extensions.joomla.org/extension ... ereplacer/ which replaces the text but doesn't affect the database.

There is Date/Time Format variable in the Language String. They are set by Language Packs.

Create an override of DATE_FORMAT_LC3 language string. But this will affect all places where this date format is used. If you don't want that, you have to create a layout override instead.
