How to arrange date translation?

Question

Yii

I'm trying to arrange date translation through echo \Yii::t('app', 'Today is {0, date}', time()); From this article , I have two questions.
1 Is it necessary to organize the app.php document for the date or not?
2 How to organize app.php for dates well on the same date March and January?

Answer 1

Have you tried the formatter?
Translates the date into the correct language based on the active language. Works even on multilingual sites.

1.In the above configuration, app* is a template that defines which categories are processed by the source. In our case, we are processing everything that starts with app. The message files are located in @app/messages (the messages folder in your app). The fileMap array determines which file will be included for a particular category. If you don't want to configure fileMap, you can rely on the convention that the category name is the file name. For example, the app/error category refers to the app/error.php file under basePath.
When translating a message \Yii::t('app', 'This is a string to translate!') with the application language set to ru-RU, Yii will first look for the @app/messages/ru-RU/app.php file to get list of available translations. If there is an ru-RU file, Yii will also try to look for ru before deciding that the translation attempt failed.
