Set the Locale to german?

Kirby 3 Solved ✅
#1

I am currently learning Kirby so please forgive any stupid questions from me.
I would like to change the PHP Locale to German so that the Events section (taken from the sample files) shows the dates in german. I have added the Locale settings to the config file but nothing is changing.

Here is my config file:

<?php
return [
	'panel' =>[
    	'install' => true
		]
];

return [
  'locale' => 'de_DE.utf-8'
];

And here the call I am making:

<h4><?= $schreibwerkstatt_single->from()->toDate('%A, j. F Y') ?></h4>

Two questions I have, 1. how to make the Locale set for german, and 2. what is the correct way to build the config file, should there be just one ‘return ’ or should there be more which are broken down into parts?

Thanks for any help :slight_smile:

Your problem are the two return statements, see Configuration | Kirby CMS

Thank you.
Config.php now looks like this:

<?php
return [
	'panel' =>[
    	'install' => true
		],
	'locale' => 'de_DE.utf-8'
];

Which is not throwing an error, super.
But it is also not changing the dates to german…

You have to set the date handler: date | Kirby CMS (since strftime will get deprecated, better use intl) and the right pattern syntax for that handler.

Ok, thanks, that is now working as expected :raised_hands:
