[FIXED] How can I translate the days and months with Poedit?

Issue

I use Poedit to translate my website but I am stuck on how to translate the days of the week and the months if I display them with php like this:

$day_of_week_in_words->format("l")

Solution

If your server has the LC language library you can simply use php functions without any poedit interactions You can find the details here strftime simple examples:

setlocale(LC_TIME, "fi_FI");
echo strftime(" in Finnish is %A,"); //%A means A full textual representation of the day    Sunday through Saturday
setlocale(LC_TIME, "fr_FR");
echo strftime(" in French %A and");
setlocale(LC_TIME, "de_DE");
echo strftime(" in German %A.\n");
