How to change LOCALE language on Lumen

I saw this question, but it don't answers me.

I have set APP_LOCALE=fr in the .env file, but I still get date in english format :

string 'Thursday, 09h00' (length=15)

And I would like to get :

string 'Jeudi, 09h00' (length=12)

How to change from english to french on Lumen Framework ?

Solution

  • In lumen you cannot set the locale in your config. You can however change the locale in code by using app('translator')->setLocale($locale);.

    In my own projects I set the default locale by adding app('translator')->setLocale('fr'); in the /bootstrap/app.php file before the line return $app;.
