Translate date("d F Y (H:i) function php

Question

I\'m brazilian and there\'s a wordpress plugin that uses

\" . date(\"d F Y (H:i)\",$date) . \"

Output: 16 January 2013 (00:54)

Answer 1

For the french language I use this

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fra');

echo strftime("%A %d %B %Y",time()); 

For in portuguese

setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ptg');  //

echo strftime("%A %d %B %Y",time());
