when i try to choose traditional chinese as the default language.
it works for all wording which are translated under utf-8 charset. however,
the date items was messy as it is encoded as big5 and showed.
could we maintain the date format in English rather than corresponding to the language we choose?
thanks a lot.

This is because we're depending on PHP's strftime() to generate localized strings for us, and it seems to prefer BIG-5 to UTF8. I think taht what we really need to do instead is provide our own date format per language and get our localizers to convert it into the right character set. That would take care of it, I think.

Thoughts?

I had this problem in Gallery 1 (Russian KOI-8 vs Win1251) but G2 UTF-8 seems to take care of it... Just my 2c
