[pandorabots-general] pandorabots-general Digest, Vol 28, Issue 3

[William Starin]

I have a non-English speaking Bot.
<category>
<pattern>What is the name of today?</pattern>
<template>This day is<date locale="en_US" timezone="5" 
format="%A"/></template>
</category>
This ofcouse gives the day of the week in English.

Say today is "Sunday". How can I replace <date locale="en_US" timezone="5" 
format="%A"/> which gives "This day is Sunday" with the first day of the 
week in the language of the Bot. In other words, how can <date 
locale="en_US" timezone="5" format="%A"/> become the pattern for the 
template "This day is X" in the Bot's language?
