Hi. This question is probably better suited to the mediawiki-l mailing list then this one, but in any case here is the answer: There's two internationalization changes in play here. First of all, month names get translated. This is something that you cannot change without modifying core (as far as I know). Second the date format changes (for example, where in the date the year is put). This one you can control. Just add to the bottom of LocalSettings.php: $wgDefaultUserOptions['date'] = 'mdy'; and you will get something like "01:22, 11月 30, 2013 (UTC)" instead of "2013年11月30日 (六) 01:26 (UTC) ". As noted the month names are still shown in Chinese. If you do something like: $wgDefaultUserOptions['date'] = 'ISO 8601'; You will get dates that are all numeric like 2013-11-30T01:28:42 (UTC). Other options for the date format preference include dmy, ymd. By default it has the value "default" which is equivalent to the value "zh" in the chinese internationalization. --Bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
