translating Dates

awm086's picture

I am wondering how I can translate the date fields and whether there is an easy way to do it without having to write hooks modify preprocess_node. I want to be able to add custom date format, possibly rtl such as Hebrew and Arabic, but i18n does not provide this.
Do I have to build custom hook?
Also, I tried to translate some of theme strings stored in variable such as the line (submitted by author on date ) . used I18N and searched for the string under interface transaltion with no success. are these bugs ? or am I approaching it the wrong way?
Thanks in advance

Update on Strings Translations

for some reason, my colleague tried exactly the same thing, when he tried to search for strings under translate interface he could not find all the strings such as ( submitted by !username on !date ) However, when he downloaded the Chinese PO file and imported it, drupal, all the sudden, was able to locate the string. I tried to do the same in Arabic with no success.
Just thought of sharing.
