Ive read several stackoverflows about set locale. I tested locale -a in the terminal to see if my locale was in there, and it was. The following rule of code is added in the appServiceProvider:
public function boot()
{
Carbon::setLocale($this->app->getLocale());
}
The $this->app->getLocale() returns "nl"
Anyone know why Carbon still shows Sunday instead of Zondag for example?
You might want to use setLocale(LC_TIME, $this->app->getLocale()) somewhere at the start of your application.
Then if you wish to have the localized date format with local names use the formatLocalized function
Carbon::now()->formatLocalized('%d %B %Y');
See http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php for parameter for formatting
