To change the language of formatted date and time in Laravel, you can use the setLocale() method provided by Carbon library which is used for date and time manipulation in Laravel.


Here's an example of how you can change the language of formatted date and time in Laravel:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
use CarbonCarbon;

// Set the desired language
Carbon::setLocale('fr');

// Create a Carbon instance with the desired date
$date = Carbon::now();

// Format the date and time according to the desired language
$formattedDateTime = $date->formatLocalized('%A %d %B %Y %H:%M:%S');

// Output the formatted date and time
echo $formattedDateTime;


In this example, we set the locale to French using Carbon::setLocale('fr'). Then, we create a Carbon instance representing the current date and time. Finally, we use the formatLocalized() method to format the date and time according to the specified language. You can change the language by setting the locale to any other supported language code.


Note: Make sure to enable the corresponding locale in your system to display the formatted date and time in the desired language.
