Localization when using time.Format

Question

In the time package, when formatting a time.Time variable, the output will use the English names for weeks and months as defined in unexported []st

Answer 1

As you can see in time package sourcecode that values are hardcoded in source. So, basically, Go doesn't support i18n right now. i18n is on Go roadmap, its even mentioned in the faq, but there were no comments on that topic recently.

Meanwhile, you could try to use Monday package:

  // Change LocaleEnUS to the locale you want to use for translation
  monday.Format(time.Now(), "Mon 2 January 2006", monday.LocaleEnUS)
