- Yes, this is another "bug" of FrameMaker: The textual presentation of days and
- months names depends from the User Interface Language (UIL), only. It should
- indeed depend from the Document language or even better be user selectable...
-
- So, if I want to use the german "Montag" instead of the english "monday", I
- must use the german UIL. Needless to say that this is stupid. I use FrameMaker
- to write text in german and english, but I don't want to use two different
- user interfaces...
-
- I don't know if there is any workaround...
