Hello, I'm working on a weather forcast dashboard and I'm wondering if I can display the names of days and months in another language than English, French in my case

```auto
{{msg.payload | date:"EEE, d MMMM yyyy"}}

```

That's not a problem, you just need to adjust the output format. If you check the help in the sidebar, it gives a link to the page that gives you all of the details you need.
