change date format to local language

Question

I want to change date format in english language("Monday, 04 July 2020") to indonesia(Senin, 04 Juli 2020). I change config/App.php

'locale' => 'id',

and add some code to Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

   public function boot()
    {
        config(['app.locale' => 'id']);
        Carbon::setLocale('id');
        date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Jakarta');
    }

my model

 public function dateFormat()
    {
        return \Carbon\Carbon::parse($this->attributes['tanggal_acara'])
        ->formatLocalized("%A, %d %B %Y");
    }

and this my blade

{{ $event->dateFormat() }}

but the result still same "Monday, 04 July 2020"

anyone tell me what I've missed?

Answer 1

Set the language in /app/config/app.php

'timezone' => 'Asia/Jakarta',
'locale' => 'id',
'faker_locale' => 'id_ID',

// App\Providers\AppServiceProvider

public function boot()
{
    config(['app.locale' => 'id']);
    Carbon::setLocale('id');
    date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Jakarta');

}

Answer 2

Because you are using formatLocalized() , You will need to call php's setlocale() like so

public function boot()
{
    setlocale(LC_TIME, 'id_ID');
    config(['app.locale' => 'id']);
    Carbon::setLocale('id');
    date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Jakarta');
}

Also as per Sammitch's comment, you need to make sure the locale is configured on your server (on linux this can be checked using locale -a command in the console) as setlocale() will not work otherwise

Answer 3

solved use this liblary https://github.com/jenssegers/date

This date library extends Carbon with multi-language support. Methods such as format, diffForHumans, parse, createFromFormat and the new timespan, will now be translated based on your locale.
