 * Hi,
 * I am using polylang in combination with the event maker plugin, which allows 
   you to set a date format.
    But the date format in Dutch is different from the
   date format in English. The month is correctly translated, though.
 * Has anyone seen this behaviour? Is there a way to override the date formatting
   in the event maker, with the formatting as set in polylang?
 * Thanks in advance!
    Sara

 * I don’t know event maker, but normally a plugin should use the date format that
   you enter in WordPress settings (Settings->general). This is then translated 
   by Polylang using the translation provided in strings translations table (Settings-
   >languages->strings translations).
