TwentyTen localization improvement

[settle]

archive.php

<?php if ( is_day() ) : ?>
				<?php printf( __( 'Daily Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'twentyten' ), get_the_date() ); ?>
<?php elseif ( is_month() ) : ?>
				<?php printf( __( 'Monthly Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'twentyten' ), get_the_date( 'F Y' ) ); ?>
<?php elseif ( is_year() ) : ?>
				<?php printf( __( 'Yearly Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'twentyten' ), get_the_date( 'Y' ) ); ?>
<?php else : ?>
				<?php _e( 'Blog Archives', 'twentyten' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Please, make the string ( 'F Y' ) translatable. For example, in lithuanian we use ( 'Y F' ). So we currently have to manually edit archive.php.

And I think that day archive format and year archive format should also be translatable, just in case. Maybe it should look different in some languages.

It is translatable - get_the_date() uses date_i18n() which handles translation of date formats. You should be able to hook into the 'date_i18n' filter to modify this.

Yes, get_the_date() is translatable, but get_the_date( 'F Y' ) is static and not included in TwentyTen.pot
I am not able to choose between F Y and Y F.

In other themes I can find something like this:

printf( __('Archive for %1$s', 'inove'), get_the_time(__('F jS, Y', 'inove')) );

Now, date expression is included in theme translation file.

p.s. I am only translating, I have no knowledge in coding, so hooking and other words say nothing to me, sorry. I am only asking to use

get_the_time(__('F Y', 'twentyten'))

instead of

get_the_date( 'F Y' )

The problem is that 'F Y' is not an English language string, but a PHP date format specifier. I'm fairly certain that hooking into date_i18n is the proper way to handle this, but lets see what the senior devs say.

Yes, it is not an English string, but everywhere in WP it is translatable string.

For example: /wp-includes/theme-compat/sidebar.php:35

			<p><?php printf(__('You are currently browsing the <a href="%1$s/">%2$s</a> blog archives for the day %3$s.'), get_bloginfo('url'), get_bloginfo('name'), get_the_time(__('l, F jS, Y'))); ?></p>

Why should TwentyTen be different than whole WP?

Why should TwentyTen be different than whole WP?

It shouldn't, looks like I'm wrong..

We're occasionally inconsistent in core, but having $date_format translated is proper.

My suggestion. Works fine in my localhost.

16441.patch​ makes the requested strings translatable in Twenty Eleven as well.

In Kubrick, they were translatable too.

These should probably have a translator comment or context.

Added context in 16441.2.patch​.

In [19241]:

Make date formats for transation. Props SergeyBiryukov, settle. fixes #16441
