How to set date locale in mailchimp?

Question

I need to change the mailchimp locale *|DATE:M y|*. This gives Apr 2013 and I want Abr 2013 (Portuguese format). Is there any way to do this?

Thanks!

Have you tried wrapping the date with a translate merge tag?

*|TRANSLATE:PT|* *|DATE:M y|*

The list of language codes can be found here:

But the Portugese options are:

Portuguese (Brazil) = pt

Portuguese (Portugal) = pt_PT

I can't really be anymore specific. `*|TRANSLATE:PT|*` will translate whatever content in that area into Brazilian Portuguese, `*|TRANSLATE:pt_PT|*` will translate the content into Portuguese of Portugal. – samanthasquared Apr 29 '13 at 13:11

There you go

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'pt_PT');
echo strftime("%b %d %Y");

this will output

Abr 18 2013

To format dates in other languages, you need to use the setlocale() and strftime() functions

He wants this in the text of the e-mail of mailchimp and not in PHP directly. – Cristiano Santos Apr 18 '13 at 10:14
