How do I get "date.strftime" in the language set by "/i18n/setlang/"

[jul]

hi,

I have a multilingual site and I'd like to get some date in the
current language. With date.strftime, I get the date in english
only...
The language is set by "/i18n/setlang/".
How can I do that?

thanks

For simple formatting, you could just do what the "date" template filter does:

from django.utils.dateformat import format
format(value, format_string)

This uses a slightly different format-string syntax than strftime, but
it is locale-aware and so will translate month and day names for you
in the process.

Perfect. Thanks.
