Summary:
Frontend language issue
Detailed Description:
What does frontend language precisely do?

Reason:
I was using the date_format function from smarty (which is just a modifier from
PHP) and it still showed my dates in English, even though I set a different
language as frontend language.

I manually added to the config.php :
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL'); 

And now the dates show up in the chosen language. Just wondering or the frontend
language option shouldn't taking care of this?

there is $config['locale'] = 'nl_NL.utf-8'; for example which would take care of
this.

Hey Goran,

Thanks. But I suppose that does the same as the setlocale option (just the
config is a cleaner way, agreed).

But do you know what the language option does in the Admin side? It would make
sense if that one would take care of this...

language specifies what language files are loaded.   Locale is used for
specifying the output of date functions and currency format etc.

Clear. Thanks.

But can't we say in general that someone choosing a specific language, wants the
matching locale?

I know, this would be a discussion where people differ in opinion. In windows
you can set them seperately I think. But with keeping in mind a mutliple
language site, it would be very convenient to have the locale change too.
