Translate current_time

Question

I have current_time in theme and it displays date like: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2016. But I need to translate it to Persian. How can I do this?

Answer 1

Used date_i18n instead of current_time. For example:

echo date_i18n( 'Y. F j.',  strtotime( get_the_time( "Y-m-d" ) ) );

Answer 2

It may be worth looking at using something like date_i18n, which returns the date/time in a localised format

To recreate the current_time format you showed in your example, you could use something like date_i18n('l, F j, Y');
