Twig - page.created in other languages

[Manaus]

I'm using TwigTemplateEngine for an Italian website, but I get always English dates for `{{ page.created }}` code.

I installed the Languages Support module, Languages, Italian Language Pack, used `setlocale('LC_TIME', "it_IT")`, `setlocale('LC_TIME', "ita")`, and the various combinations with LC_ALL, but no.

How can I output an Italian date on the page?

Thanks!

Says here you can change Twig’s default date format like this:

$twig = new \Twig\Environment($loader);
$twig->getExtension(\Twig\Extension\CoreExtension::class)->setDateFormat('d/m/Y', '%d giorni');

And format individual expressions like this:

{{ page.created|date("d/m/Y") }}

But to get Italian words like ”giugno“ or “venerdi” you’ll probably need something called “Twig Intl Extension”: https://stackoverflow.com/a/75572704

Thanks Jan, but I can't get it to work
It returns 'Undefined variable: loader' when I load the page...

I think the code you are quoting is suitable for the Symfony context?

Indeed, it assumes you have a $loader as in FileSystemLoader or similar.

Anyway, you must use a hook so that your code works. From the docs of the Module you are using, you can find this:

wire()->addHookAfter('TemplateEngineTwig::initTwig', function (HookEvent $event) {
    /** @var \Twig_Environment $twig */
    $twig = $event->arguments('twig');
    
	// add your extensions to $twig here
});

You should add this to ready.php. Here you have the $twig variable which is exactly what you want according to the snippet provided by @Jan Romero. Sadly, this seems to use Twig version V1 or V2 whereas Jan's example uses V3. Twig V1 and V2 don't use namespaces whereas Twig V3 does. A quick composer.json scan shows me, TwigTemplateEngine still uses Twig V1.
