David, I have no explanation for the French version of the modification date but I will guess that the server your site is on may be configured incorrectly. Since Rootsweb uses the Apache Server Program, you can take advantage of it by using the following Apache server code to display the last date a page was modified. Revised: <!--#config timefmt="%B %d, %Y" --><!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" --> I don't know whether you are using "includes" files or not, could not tell from your sites, but a more efficient use of this code would be to place it into a "footer" include file. <!--#include virtual="footer.txt" --> See my site, or others on this list, for more info. http://www.serversideincludes.net/uses/date_mod.shtml Lorrie On 03/27/11 08:23, David Nijsens wrote: > Hello, > > My operating system (Win XP) isn't French speaking. > Nowhere as far as I can see, do I indicate the page is in French. > Yet, at the bottom, just above the Ancestry banner, the month of the last modified date is in French. > > <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%d %B %Y" > --> > > Yes, I know I could copy from somewhere a (lenghty) script that winkles the month out of the last modified date and replaces it with the word in English or even... in the same language as the page. But there is no substitute for understanding things and I would prefer not to have to use that sort of scripting tricks even if that script doesn't always come up with today's date. > > Here are two pages that may serve as examples: > http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~noemeetjesland/b_ii_a_judocus.htm > http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~noemeetjesland/in_dutch/b_ii_a_judocus.htm > The month of the last modified date is in French.
