Translate date("d F Y (H:i) function php
For the french language I use this
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fra');echo strftime("%A %d %B %Y",time()); For in portuguese
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ptg'); //echo strftime("%A %d %B %Y",time());
The documentation for date already answers this:
To format dates in other languages, you should use the setlocale() and strftime() functions instead of date().
And strftime says that the way to do what is by using setlocale:
Format the time and/or date according to locale settings. Month and weekday names and other language-dependent strings respect the current locale set with setlocale().
That said, the C locale-aware functions do not provide sufficient functionality for languages that have cases. In such situations (i.e. most of the time) you need to roll your own.
