How do I change the language of moment.js?

Question

I am trying to change the language of the date which is being set by moment.js. The default one is English, but I want to set the German language. These is what I tried:

Answer 1

I'm using angular2-moment, but usage must be similar.

import { MomentModule } from "angular2-moment";
import moment = require("moment");

export class AppModule {

  constructor() {
    moment.locale('ru');
  }
}

Answer 2

For me, there are some changes to make(ver. 2.20)

1. You set locale with moment.locale('de'), and you create a new object representing the date of now by moment() (note the parenthesis) and then format('LLL') it. The parenthesis is important.

So that means:

moment.locale('de');
var now = moment();
now.format('LLL');

2. Also, remember to use moment-with-locale.js. The file contains all locale info and has a larger file size. Download the locale folder is not enough. If necessary, change the name to be moment.js. Django just refuses to load moment-with-locale.js in my case.

EDIT: It turned out that renaming the file is not necessary. I just forgot to invoke it in the page so Django does not think loading it is necessary, so my fault.
