exp:channel:month_links - need multi lingual output

Question

I've got a multi lingual site powered by Transcribe and I've run into one area where I am unable to get both French and English to work. See the code below

{exp:channel:month_links channel="blog" limit="50"}
    <li><a href="{exp:transcribe:uri path="events/archives"}" {if {month} == segment_4}class="current"{/if} >{month}, {year}</a></li>
{/exp:channel:month_links}

I need the {month} variable to be in French on the french side and English on the English side. However since this is being pulled directly from EE itself I'm not sure how to achieve this.

Answer 1

Since you're evaluating a string, the arguments should be enclosed in quotes (").

{if "{month}" == "{segment_4}"}class="current"{/if}

You may need to add a OR operator for a second condition to check.

Update

Just realized I misunderstood your question. I found this Multi Language Module that allows you to define phrases for each language

Update #2

Since you're using the transcribe module, I would just create variables for each month (ie. month_01) and pass it through the translate tag pair:

{exp:transcribe:translate name="month_{month_num}"}January{/exp:transcribe:translate}
