In the WebCore unit all MonthNames, DayNames etc. are 0-based arrays.
When I customize the arrays in the OnCreate event e.g., that works as
expected:

LongMonthNames[0]:='Januar';
LongMonthNames[1]:='Februar';

while moving the same code to the Initialization section of a form
(necessary for the TDateEditComboBox control), I get this error:
"Invalid month(0) specified"...

Obviously the compiler expects a 1-based array here.

Uli,

Internally, yes, but not what you would use when modifying the TFormatSettings properties.  The properties themselves are all 1-based, in order to match the month numbers.

Actually, no, it isn't working.  You're just seeing what happens when an exception occurs in JS during the loading of a page.  In such a case, the browser will eat the exception.  However, you can see it occurring if you run the application in an external browser with the dev tools/debugger open (F12)

IOW, use 1-based property indexes here.

Hi Uli/Tim,

What's the best way of translating component values (here calendar
component) to show regional settings/labels?

Hüseyin,

Just assign new values to the FormatSettings properties for MonthNames, etc. in the initialization section of one of your units.
