Hello my Laravel project runs with docker. But when I set up my date with setlocal in my language. Laravel displays the result in English @php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR'); echo strftime("%A %d %B %Y");@endphp
I'm pretty sure this issue is cause by the container, but I don't know how to fix it.
If you input locale -a on you host pc, you will surely find something like fr_FR. But in container, by default, most of image won't provide French lang.
Next is a minimal example for you to install french lang, FYI:
test.php:
<?php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR'); echo strftime("%A %d %B %Y");
Dockerfile:
FROM php
COPY test.php /
RUN apt-get update; \
apt-get install -y locales; \
sed -i '/^#.* fr_FR.* /s/^#//' /etc/locale.gen; \
locale-gen
RUN locale -a
RUN php /test.php
Execution:
$ docker build -t abc:1 .

Explanation:
fr_FR is commented in /etc/locale.gen, we could use sed to uncomment it.locale-gen to generate French lang.mardi 22 juin 2021 when run the php file.Make sure the locales package is installed in your docker image.
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y locales
