Laravel carbon get current month in dutch

Question

I'm trying to show the full current month name in dutch. I've tried it like this:

\Carbon\Carbon::now()->subMonth()->format('F')

But then I see July so not what I want. My app service provider looks like this:

public function boot()
{
    Carbon::setLocale('nl');
}

Any Idea what I could do to get this to work?

(diffForHumans is working correctly)

Answer 1

If you don't want to pull an entire package and want to only install your locale, then you could list the locale installed in your (linux) server by issuing the command

locale -a

If your locale isn't listed, then you may install your locale nl using the command

sudo locale-gen nl
sudo update-locale

then the usual setLocale
