Change language of date. Django

Question

I would like to know if there is a way to change the language of a date when we render it (the same way we can change the format: {{mydate|date:"d F Y - H:i"}}).

I looked at the doc : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/builtins/?from=olddocs#date but i didn't find anything.

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

You could change the locale before rendering it as a string. Then change it back after. Although, I'm not sure why you want to have a date in a language different from your other output. Maybe explain what you are trying to accomplish with this, first. There is no built-in way to do it simply formatting the date.

Answer 2

In django, you need change the language in you setting.py like that:

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'es-PE'

for this example, i'm from Perú.
