Date format translation using gettext

Question

I am currently using gettext() for localization(Japanese).

gettext('msgid);

In the web page, at some places, I've used date('M d H:i A'); It outputs Feb 24 17:41 PM.

But I want here Feb and PM should also be translated in Japanese using gettext.

Just change the M to a m - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3283550/convert-month-from-name-to-number Hope this helps — warwickf, Feb 24 '14 at 12:28

Did you try using

setlocale ("LC_ALL", "ja_JP");

before using date()? It should print date according to Japanese locale conventions...

Gettext is not responsible for traslating output from code...

I am using setlocale ("LC_MESSAGES", "ja_JP"); – Feb 25 '14 at 04:45
Try using `setlocale("LC_ALL", "ja_JP");` or at least `setlocale("LC_TIME", "ja_JP");` – MarcoS Feb 25 '14 at 08:33
