[TYPO3-translators] setlocale() in TCA itemsProcFunc

[Felix Kiesewetter]

I just couldn't find a solution for this.

I have a plugin that creates a select box in the TCA and adds it to tt_news. In the select box, there are date() formatted timestamps that work well, except for the fact that they are in English only. I need them to be localised (e.g. date(%l, $ts) to be displayed as "Dienstag" instead of "Tuesday"). I tried to use the following:

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE');

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de-DE');

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE at euro');

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de');

But they get ignored every time.

This is my ext_tables.php part:

'config' => array (
			'type' => 'select',
			'itemsProcFunc' => 'tx_newscal_tca->recurring',
			'default' => 0
		)

This is the class that's being used to add to the item list:

class tx_newscal_tca {
	function recurring($config) {
		setlocale (LC_ALL, 'de_DE at euro', 'de_DE', 'de', 'ge');
		
		$datetime = $config['row']['datetime'];
		$F = date('F', $datetime);
		$d = date('d', $datetime);
		$l = date('l', $datetime);
		$optionList = array();
		$optionList[] = array(
			0 => $GLOBALS['LANG']->sL('LLL:EXT:newscal/locallang.xml:tcalabels.recurring.0'),
			1 => 0
		); // Once
		$optionList[] = array(
			0 => str_replace('%l', $l, $GLOBALS['LANG']->sL('LLL:EXT:newscal/locallang.xml:tcalabels.recurring.1')),
			1 => 1
		); // Weekly
		$optionList[] = array(
			0 => str_replace('%d', $d, $GLOBALS['LANG']->sL('LLL:EXT:newscal/locallang.xml:tcalabels.recurring.2')),
			1 => 2
		); // Monthly
		$optionList[] = array(
			0 => str_replace(array('%d', '%F'), array($d, $F), $GLOBALS['LANG']->sL('LLL:EXT:newscal/locallang.xml:tcalabels.recurring.3')),
			1 => 3
		); // Yearly
		$config['items'] = array_merge($config['items'], $optionList);
		return $config;
	}
}
