Hi Yvan, the list,
I confirm what Yvan said excepted that in Mac OS X 10.3.9, I get the month as
lower case:
set foo to date "mercredi 19 octobre 2005 0:00:00"
display dialog month of foo
displays "oct" (without the quotes).
BTW: using "return month of foo" gaves me the Constant (October instead).
I just checked the 'System Preferences' application, but I get nothing nor in
the Date or in the International panels about how I can change the month length
(short like in 'oct' or long like in 'october').
For some reason, I feel that this is doable (the change is possible / the two
ways can be asked / the default can be changed... you see what I mean).
From the language Reference:
<quote>
Month
One of the constants January,February,March,April,May,
June,July,August,September,October,November, December or
Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep, Oct,Nov,Dec.
</quote>
So, both formats exists in Constant...
But some things were (still are) untrue in the manual: AppleScripts date format
follows the International settings, so I will not see AM or PM because it is not
in my default France settings...
The Date Class entry talk about current date to search in "AppleScript Scripting
Additions Guide"... I do not have it handly; I search...
And the quest failed. I even searched only "Scripting Additions Guide" without
success.
Someone with more knowledge (or better memory) ?

I would like to know how could I translate this list in a french user
friendly list and make the script function without issue.
Those month names above are constants, not strings. When they are
displayed in the "choose from list" dialog box they should use
whatever your locale settings are. So if your machine has French as
its primary language, you should get a list of Janvier, Fevrier, etc.
With the ^ in Aout, even...
I apologize Mark.
I am working with a french system.
The months are displaid with three letters IN ENGLISH.
I get
Jan
Feb
Mar
Apr
May
