I am using qTranslate and I have a webstie that has both Chinese and English.

The widget - Events Calender has a drop down which shows 2010年十一月.

I would like to have 2010年11月。 as the format.

How can I change this?

Thanks,

James

Hi Luis,

Thanks for you answer, but this it is more complicated. It is only on this drop down widget that I need this kind of change. And only for the Chinese version.

Hi, are you using a plugin to create this? If not, are you using WP_Widget_Calendar? Could you show me the widget code you are using?

Jurre Hanema answers:

Does this concern the "Upcoming Events widget" or the "Event Calendar widget"?

Also, how are you creating the dropdown? Because in the Events Calender 3 source, I can't find any dropdowns!
