Long month names in PHP date

Kirby 3 Solved ✅

I would like to announce the month in german. Shouldn’t that be possible via the setlocale? I only get the English version.

Doesn’t work

setlocale(LC_TIME, "de_DE");

Doesn’t work (in config.php)

'locale' => 'de_DE.utf-8',

Is the locale installed in your system? Check with locale -a in a terminal.

Thanks for your answer. But seems to be all ok?

de_AT
de_AT.ISO8859-1
de_AT.ISO8859-15
de_AT.UTF-8
de_CH
de_CH.ISO8859-1
de_CH.ISO8859-15
de_CH.UTF-8
de_DE
de_DE.ISO8859-1
de_DE.ISO8859-15
de_DE.UTF-8

Are you using date()? That function doesn’t have internationalization. You’ll have to use strftime().

Here’s two links to help you out.

Thanks at all, I have used strftime() which works great. Wasn’t aware between the difference.
