 * I’m trying to find a way to change date format depending on the language being
   used. The problem is if I put get_the_date( ) inside tags (<!–:en–> or [:en])
   it will simply print get_the_date( ‘l, j F Y’, null) instead of the date. I also
   tried
 * `if(qtrans_getLanguage() == 'fr'){}...` and its always false even though I’m 
   in the french version of my website.
