Localising issues

Hi - This is my first post on the forum - didnt know it existed until I received a mailshot from Fraser 
Question: How do I alter the Config.ini so that I can display the date/time format so that it is suitable for the following languages I need to use.
German, French, USA
I did receive an email from someone at Interactive tools about this but unfortunately I suffered a system crash and lost my emails.
Hope you can shed some light on the syntax required to change these settings.

It is possible to translate the output date into French or German.
These changes can be made in the config.ini file, just be sure to make a backup of the config.ini file before you make any changes. (The config.ini file is within the /exec/ directory, the same directory that your admin.cgi is within)
Information on how the config.ini file works is available here: http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/articlemanager/admin/doc_page36.html
In this example we'll modify the date formation to be output in French. Open up the config.ini file and make the following changes:
You’ll have to change all of the text for the following variables:
- month_abbr
- month_full
- week_abbr
- week_full
Here is an example. You’ll change this:
week_full = Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday
To this:
week_full = Dimanche,Lundi,Mardi,Mercredi,Jeudi,Vendredi,Samedi
To change the date so it’s output in European format like so; "Dimanche 20 Février 2002 - 04:36:13" You’ll have to change the date, time, and datetime format variables. Here are the proper formats for formatting the date and time the way you want it formatted.
date_format = %A %e %B %Y
time_format = %H:%M PST
datetime_format = %A %e %B %Y - %H:%M:%S
And that’s it. When you’re done be sure to republish all of your existing articles by going to "Setup Options" --> "General" tab --> click the "Publish All" button.
If you have any other questions feel free to let me know, I'll be happy to help.

Luke, As usual a prompt and full answer - excellent just what I wanted 
I had read the documentation page you reference but it was late in the day here and I couldnt work out what I needed to do. I needed an example such as you have now provided.
Thanks, I look forward to purchasing French, German language versions of your products for my European team.
