Set the Month date in my country

I saw several questions on the forum about this subject and the answers have not been satisfactory, I would like to persevere.

I would like to have the month of my dates in French. They are automatically in English like that :

:white_check_mark: my input format is text in NOTION :

format(formatDate(prop(“Date”), “MMMM Y”))

:white_check_mark: my country profile is France :

I dont understand because the automatic input in Make are in French:

Really it’s a mystery, I don’t understand and no one seems to have a real answer

Welcome to the Make community!

That’s because those are date type variables.

Because that is stored as text type, not a date type.

To convert text into date, use the built-in function parseDate.

Then to format a date, use the built-in function formatDate.

It’s the same when I use parsedate and I have the input format as a date…
I’m crazy with this :sweat_smile:, I tried a lot of things…

Bonjour Camille,
Tu as trouvé une solution satisfaisante ? je galère avec le même problème et je ne vois aucune réponse interessante dans le forum…

:us: Hello Camille,

Did you find a satisfactory solution? I’m struggling with the same problem and haven’t found any helpful answers in the forum…

I tried a lot of things.

The easiest way was to insert a GPT module and ask it to translate. Yes, it doesn’t make any sense but…

We could also use other translation modules, but given that GPT is already connected…

I hope this helps while you’re waiting for a fix !

Thank you Anthony, very surprised that it’s so complicated ! And more when I notice that my comments are automatically translated in the make community chatroom !!!

Your comments are not automatically translated… a moderator had to edit your post manually to add it in. In future please communicate in English on this forum so we can all understand each other.
