Many thanks to those who responded to me earlier. I have looked further into this, but I still have a problem. In the locales_target table, the French for ‘February’ is stored as ‘février’, but if I put the French word for February (février) into the database in a node (marked as French), it is stored as ‘février’ not as ‘février’. Can anyone shed any light on this? Many thanks indeed. Edward Peters Oxford, UK www.drupalproject.iofc.org
