I did my best, for more then 8 hours spending and reading this page: https://www.make.com/en/help/functions/date---time-functions#examples-935198-2

Without succes.

Welcome to the Make community!

According to the Tokens you can use to format a date variable, you can use MMMM YYYY.

e.g.:

{{ formatDate(now; "MMMM YYYY") }}

For more information, see Date Format links below:

Here are some useful links and guides you can use to learn more on how to use the Make platform, apps, and app modules. I found these useful when I was learning Make, and hope they might benefit you too —

Awesome @samliew, thanks for the fast feedback. Wondering: Is it possible to export August in another language (Dutch).

No problem, glad I could help!

You will have to use 12 replace functions to manually replace the translations from English.

1. If anyone has a new question in the future, please start a new thread. This makes it easier for others with the same problem to search for the answers to specific questions, and you are more likely to receive help since newer questions are monitored closely.

2. The Make Community guidelines encourages users to try to mark helpful replies as solutions to help keep the Community organized.

This marks the topic as solved, so that:

  • others can save time when catching up with the latest activity here, and
  • allows others to quickly jump to the solution if they come across the same problem

To do this, simply click the checkbox at the bottom of the post that answers your question:

{{formatDate(now; “MMMM YYYY”)}} 2024. {{replace(“August”; “Augustus”)}}

Oke, fixed it with ChatGPT:

{{replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(replace(formatDate(now; “MMMM YYYY”); “January”; “Januari”); “February”; “Februari”); “March”; “Maart”); “April”; “April”); “May”; “Mei”); “June”; “Juni”); “July”; “Juli”); “August”; “Augustus”); “September”; “September”); “October”; “Oktober”); “November”; “November”); “December”; “December”)}}
