Change language of the date stored in d-M-Y format php

Question

I need to convert or change the language of the data I echo in php

echo date('d-M-Y', strtotime($date));

This echo for example 23-Jan-2017, while I want it in Spanish 23-Ene-2017.

Answer 1

Actually I use this in wordpress so I used date_i18n()

echo date_i18n('d-M-Y', strtotime( $date ));
