Carbon is actually using the php setlocale();. The Carbon::setLocale('es') method is only for localized Carbon methods like ->diffForHumans() method.

As explained here, notice that the php setlocale() reference to the locale stored on your OS. To choose one of the installed one, type locale -a on your console. Secondly, you will have to use ->formatLocalized() method instead of ->format() in order to use the format on the desired locale which can be found at the following link.
