How to Translate Days in Laravel Using Carbon

Laravel is a powerful PHP framework that makes building web applications easier and more enjoyable. One of its impressive features is the integration with the Carbon library, which helps manage dates and times. However, sometimes you may need to display these dates in different languages, such as translating the names of the days of the week. If you find yourself needing to translate days in your Laravel application, you've come to the right place.

The Problem

In your Laravel project, you want to customize the output of the days of the week to display them in Indonesian. By default, the Carbon library provides day names in English, which won't suffice if your application's audience is Indonesian-speaking. You initially tried using Carbon::getDays(), but it didn't support localization properly. How can you effectively translate the days of the week in your situation?

The Solution

To convert the English day names into Indonesian (or any other language), you need to modify your existing function to utilize a predefined array of weekday names. Here's how you can do that step by step:

Step 1: Update Your Function

Instead of relying on Carbon::getDays(), you'll create your own array of day names in the desired language. Below is the modified version of the original function:

Step 2: Understanding the Code

Function Name: The function dayFromInt takes an integer representing the day of the week (0 for Sunday, 1 for Monday, etc.) and returns the corresponding day in your desired language.

Array of Days: The $weekdays array contains the Indonesian names of the days from Sunday to Saturday. You can easily modify this array to add names in any other language as needed.

Retrieving the Day: The Arr::get($weekdays, $num) method is used to fetch the day name based on the integer passed to the function.

Step 3: Implement the Function in Your Code

After updating the function, ensure it is being called correctly wherever you need to display the day of the week in your application. This way, your application users will see the days in their preferred language, significantly enhancing their experience.

Conclusion

Translating day names in Laravel using Carbon doesn't have to be complicated. By adjusting your implementation to include a custom array of day names, you can easily support different locales such as Indonesian. The steps outlined in this guide provide you with the clarity and structure needed to make these changes effectively.

Now, your Laravel application will cater beautifully to Indonesian users by displaying the days of the week in a way they can understand and relate to. Happy coding!
