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. Why ? Thank you for your help. All the best, DN.
David, This is the first time I've really looked at timestamps. Could someone tell me why B represents Month? (Why not M?) When I looked at your page, I see the EN language in your Meta. I found this post talking specifically about Frontpage -- maybe it will help?? :::: (If one of these helps, let me know. I use Frontpage too). Part of post from http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum46/1436.htm Author "pageoneresults" with post ID of " #:940893 " <snipped> There are two options that are default in FrontPage for Date and Time Stamps. Date this page was last edited. Date this page was automatically updated. FrontPage does not have a webbot (that I know of) that will provide the current date and time. There are third party plugins for FrontPage that do this with Jbots being the most popular. Here is an outline of the default FP Date and timestamps you have available along with their respective code. Combined Date and Time Stamps 2006-04-12T09:03:58-0700 - International Date and Time Format <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%Z" --> Note: The above webbot I created to adhere to the ISO Date and Time format. It's available for all, no strings attached. ;) 04/12/06 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%m/%d/%y" --> April 12, 2006 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%B %d, %Y" --> 12 April, 2006 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%d %B, %Y" --> 12 Apr 2006 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%d %b %Y" --> 12 April 2006 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%d %B %Y" --> 12/04/06 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%d/%m/%y" --> 04.12.06 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%m.%d.%y" --> 04.12.2006 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%m.%d.%Y" --> 12-Apr-2006 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%d-%b-%Y" --> 2006-04-12 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%Y-%m-%d" --> 06-04-12 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%y-%m-%d" --> 12-04-06 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%d-%m-%y" --> 12-04-2006 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%d-%m-%Y" --> April, 2006 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%B, %Y" --> Apr-06 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%b-%y" --> Wednesday April 12, 2006 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%A %B %d, %Y" --> Wednesday, 12 April 2006 <!--webbot bot="Timestamp" S-Type="EDITED" S-Format="%A, %d %B %Y" --> Wednesday, 12.
