Hi Daniel,

You can do this using "intelligent" macros and quick template
combinations. The scope of the full answer is, however, too technical
for TBUDL and should really be taken up on TBTECH.
The gist of it is to write a quick template for each language which
will give the required translated date/time and call them DT_DE,
DT_SE, DT_ES, DT_FR etc. Then you simply use %QINCLUDE="DT_FR" in the
address book templates for your French correspondents, etc.
For example, a macro to translate the day of the week can be
constructed using the new %IF macro to translate the %DOW result like
this:
%IF:"%DOW"="Monday":"Lundi"%-
%IF:"%DOW"="Tuesday":"Mardi"%-
%IF:"%DOW"="Wednesday":"Mercredi"%-
%IF:"%DOW"="Thursday":"Jeudi"%-
%IF:"%DOW"="Friday":"Vendredi"%-
%IF:"%DOW"="Saturday":"Samedi"%-
%IF:"%DOW"="Sunday":"Dimanche":%-
Translating the month name is a lot trickier and would involve
embedded regular expressions to extract the month name from the date
string.
