Localize date meta

[pschmitt]

Use strftime() instead of date() so that non-english websites can
display the date meta in their locale. The locale can be set with
setLocale(LC_ALL, 'YOURLOCALE').
Please note that this changes the date format.

👍 For php-non-experts, an example setLocale in the config.php file could be useful. (replacing the $config['date_format'] or adding to it, if it still seems to be useful)

Since I'm a php-non-expert, where do I got to add the setLocale?
My German Page looks strange with English Months

@dkyme, simply add e.g.

setlocale(LC_TIME, 'de_DE.utf8');

to your config/config.php. You can get a list of available locales by running locale -a on your server's shell.

The use of strftime() and setlocale() is fraught with problems in some environments, thus this is kind of a workaround; we're planning to release a official i18n plugin with Pico 1.1, see #334.
