This is a small snippet of code with SVG and strings. Of course doing a php echo (or python print) would be enough to put a dynamic date string instead of a static text. Go to the <text> node.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

    <filter id="test" filterUnits="objectBoundingBox" x="0" y="0" width="1.5" height="4">

last year I recommend using a simple script in Javascript and SVG. This will allow to make one simple function and deliver on every language by just having an array of dialogs.
Hi Alexandro,

Thanks for your email! I remember we did look into the solution last year however we had some problems to write the javascript it may due to lack of technical knowledge. If you can help us to write this simple script that would be great :)

Thanks!
