How to get timestamp for converted i18n date using momentjs

Question

I'm using momentjs with timezone.

I've converted date to i18n using moment.locale('pt');

Now I want to get timestamp of the date. I get date value as converted i18n date, i.e. Ago 14 2018 22:00

I tried with moment("Ago 14 2018 22:00").tz("Asia/Calcutta").unix() => this is returing NaN

But this is working => moment("Aug 14 2018 22:00").tz("Asia/Calcutta").unix()

So how can I get timestamp of converted i18n date??

Here is fiddle of the problem : http://jsfiddle.net/uq99udc9/10265/

You need to first specify a locale as per momentJS documentation. You also need to make sure you have that locale and if not import it.

Here is an example:

moment.locale('fr')
var date = moment("14 août 2018 10:37", "DD MMM YYYY hh:mm", "fr").format('LLL')
console.log(date);
