Rename monthnames in LaTeX

I've got a seemingly small problem using LaTeX, which i can't find the answer for after quite a bit of internet searching...

I'm writing a schoolassignment in faroese, and want to change the \date(\today) names to faroese.

I guess i have to use the \renewcommand, but i don't know what i should put in there.

Basicly, i want to change the names as follow:

January --> Januar February --> Februar March --> Mars etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Solution

  • You want to define your own \today. To display Januar 15, 2011, put this above \begin{document}

    \def\today{ifcase\month\or Januar\or Februar\or Mars ...etc... December\fi \space\number\day, \number\year}
