Hi Martin,

To display the date field in another language, please enable the setting timestamp, change the site language in Settings > General.

Then use the WordPress function date_i18n() to display the date in localized format.
```
$value = rwmb_meta( $field_id );
echo date_i18n( 'F j, Y', $value );
```
Refer to this topic https://support.metabox.io/topic/problem-displaying-images-videos-and-date-format-in-french/

In case of using Oxygen builder, you need to contact Oxygen support to ask to implement the code.

Here wath I use: a group field ID:seance, a metabox field date ID:date-seance display in CPT ID:seances. I try to display my date value in french. I will check the timestamp option but can you display the complet function date_i18n() with :

<div>$value = rwmb_meta( $field_id );
echo date_i18n( 'F j, Y', $value );</div>
