PHP Translation on Weekdays and Months

Question

Any ideas for translating PHP working days and months into a local language? I have a script that prints the weekdays of the next 5 weeks, and I want them to be in a different language.

$timestamp = strtotime('next Monday'); for ($i = 0; $i < 35; $i++) { echo strftime('%A', $timestamp)." "; $timestamp = strtotime('+1 day', $timestamp); } 

Is there any good integration, for example. with PHP and moment.js? I looked at the Use PHP () date formats in .js and GitHub fightbulc / moment.php moments , but I don’t understand how to use them.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 2

You can use IntlDateFormatter as follows:

 $fmt = new IntlDateFormatter('fin', IntlDateFormatter::FULL, IntlDateFormatter::NONE, null, null, "cccc"); $timestamp = strtotime('next Monday'); echo $fmt->format($timestamp); 

Output:

maanantai

Depending on your grammatical context, you may need to use "eeee" as the last argument instead of "cccc":

maanantaina

Answer 3

I did the following to really translate months and weekdays from any language (which is installed on the server).

I even thought that this topic will be answered for a long time, I will publish it, since it can really help some people.

Is used

setlocale (), but also reset; therefore, it cannot mess up the rest of your code.

These are the functions you can use:

weekdayToEnglish($locale,$weekday,$short)
weekdayFromEnglish($locale,$weekday,$short)
monthToEnglish( $locale,$month,$short)
monthFromEnglish($locale,$month,$short)

$ locale is the language you would use in setlocale () , it depends on your server, basically something like "fr_FR";

$ weekday or $ month name of the month of the week to translate

(optional) $ short if true gives a (localized) short notation (e.g. Thu instead of Thursday or Oct instead of Octobre)

Code:

 function weekdayToEnglish($locale,$weekday,$short=false) { return dateElementToEnglish($locale, $weekday, $short ? "%a" : "%A", $short? "D" : "l", 'tm_wday', "Sunday +" ," days") ; } function weekdayFromEnglish($locale,$weekday,$short=false) { return dateElementFromEnglish($locale, $weekday, $short?"%a":"%A"); } function monthToEnglish( $locale,$month,$short=false) { return dateElementToEnglish($locale, $month, $short ? "%b" : "%B", $short ? "M" : "F", 'tm_mon', "January+" ," months") ; } function monthFromEnglish($locale,$month,$short=false) { return dateElementFromEnglish($locale, $month, $short ? "%b" : "%B"); } function dateElementToEnglish($locale, $text, $strfTimeformat, $dateFormat, $dateArrayIndex, $strToTimePrefix, $strToTimeSuffix) { $saveLocale = setlocale(LC_TIME,0);setlocale(LC_TIME,$locale); $translateToNr = strptime($text, $strfTimeformat)[$dateArrayIndex] ; $readDate = strtotime($strToTimePrefix . $translateToNr . $strToTimeSuffix); $translation = date($dateFormat, $readDate); setlocale(LC_TIME,$saveLocale); return $translation; } function dateElementFromEnglish($locale,$text,$strfTimeformat) { $saveLocale = setlocale(LC_TIME,0);setlocale(LC_TIME,$locale); $translation = strftime($strfTimeformat,strtotime($text)); setlocale(LC_TIME,$saveLocale); return $translation; } 

For instance:

 echo weekdayToEnglish("nl_NL","vrijdag")."<br>"; echo weekdayFromEnglish("fi_FI","Monday")."<br>"; echo weekdayToEnglish("nl_NL","wo", true)."<br>"; echo weekdayFromEnglish("de_DE","Thu", true)."<br>"; echo weekdayFromEnglish("fr_FR",weekdayToEnglish("nl_NL","zaterdag"))."<br>"; echo monthFromEnglish("de_DE", "March")."<br>"; echo monthFromEnglish("fr_FR", "February", true)."<br>"; echo monthToEnglish("fr_FR", "avril")."<br>"; echo monthToEnglish("fi_FI", "joulukuu", true)."<br>"; 

Will yield:

 Friday maanantai Wed Do samedi März févr. April Dec
