setlocale
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
setlocale — Set locale information
Description
$category
, string $locale
[, string $...
] )$category
, array $locale
)Sets locale information.
Parameters
-
category -
categoryis a named constant specifying the category of the functions affected by the locale setting:-
LC_ALLfor all of the below -
LC_COLLATEfor string comparison, see strcoll() -
LC_CTYPEfor character classification and conversion, for example strtoupper() -
LC_MONETARYfor localeconv() -
LC_NUMERICfor decimal separator (See also localeconv()) -
LC_TIMEfor date and time formatting with strftime() -
LC_MESSAGESfor system responses (available if PHP was compiled with libintl)
-
-
locale -
If
localeisNULLor the empty string "", the locale names will be set from the values of environment variables with the same names as the above categories, or from "LANG".If
localeis "0", the locale setting is not affected, only the current setting is returned.If
localeis an array or followed by additional parameters then each array element or parameter is tried to be set as new locale until success. This is useful if a locale is known under different names on different systems or for providing a fallback for a possibly not available locale. -
... -
(Optional string or array parameters to try as locale settings until success.)
Note:
On Windows, setlocale(LC_ALL, '') sets the locale names from the system's regional/language settings (accessible via Control Panel).
Return Values
Returns the new current locale, or FALSE if the locale functionality is
not implemented on your platform, the specified locale does not exist or
the category name is invalid.
An invalid category name also causes a warning message. Category/locale names can be found in » RFC 1766 and » ISO 639. Different systems have different naming schemes for locales.
Note:
The return value of setlocale() depends on the system that PHP is running. It returns exactly what the system setlocale function returns.
Changelog
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 5.3.0 |
This function now throws an E_DEPRECATED notice if a string is passed
to the category parameter instead of one of the
LC_* constants.
|
| 4.3.0 | Passing multiple locales became possible. |
| 4.2.0 |
Passing category as a string is now deprecated,
use the above constants instead. Passing them as a string (within
quotes) will result in a warning message.

Examples
Example #1 setlocale() Examples
<?php
/* Set locale to Dutch */
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL');
/* Output: vrijdag 22 december 1978 */
echo strftime("%A %e %B %Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 22, 1978));
/* try different possible locale names for german as of PHP 4.3.0 */
$loc_de = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE@euro', 'de_DE', 'de', 'ge');
echo "Preferred locale for german on this system is '$loc_de'";
?>
Example #2 setlocale() Examples for Windows
<?php
/* Set locale to Dutch */
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nld_nld');
/* Output: vrijdag 22 december 1978 */
echo strftime("%A %d %B %Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 22, 1978));
/* try different possible locale names for german as of PHP 4.3.0 */
$loc_de = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE@euro', 'de_DE', 'deu_deu');
echo "Preferred locale for german on this system is '$loc_de'";
?>
Notes
The locale information is maintained per process, not per thread. If you are running PHP on a multithreaded server API like IIS or Apache on Windows, you may experience sudden changes in locale settings while a script is running, though the script itself never called setlocale(). This happens due to other scripts running in different threads of the same process at the same time, changing the process-wide locale using setlocale().
Windows users will find useful information about
locale strings at Microsoft's
MSDN website. Supported language strings can be found
in the
» language strings documentation
and supported country/region strings in the
» country/region strings documentation.

be careful with the LC_ALL setting, as it may introduce some unwanted conversions. For example, I used
setlocale (LC_ALL, "Dutch");
to get my weekdays in dutch on the page. From that moment on (as I found out many hours later) my floating point values from MYSQL where interpreted as integers because the Dutch locale wants a comma (,) instead of a point (.) before the decimals. I tried printf, number_format, floatval.... all to no avail. 1.50 was always printed as 1.00 :(
When I set my locale to :
setlocale (LC_TIME, "Dutch");
my weekdays are good now and my floating point values too.
I hope I can save some people the trouble of figuring this out by themselves.
Rob
Be carefull - setting a locale which uses commas instead of dots in numbers may cause a mysql db not to understand the query:<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL,"pl");
$price = 1234 / 100; // now the price looks like 12,34
$query = mysql_query("SELECT Id FROM table WHERE price='".$price."'");
?>
Even if there is a price 12.34 - nothing will be found
!!WARNING!!
The "locale" always depend on the server configuration.
i.e.:
When trying to use "pt_BR" on some servers you will ALWAYS get false. Even with other languages.
The locale string need to be supported by the server. Sometimes there are diferents charsets for a language, like "pt_BR.utf-8" and "pt_BR.iso-8859-1", but there is no support for a _standard_ "pt_BR".
This problem occours in Windows platform too. Here you need to call "portuguese" or "spanish" or "german" or...
Maybe the only way to try to get success calling the function setlocale() is:
setlocale(LC_ALL, "pt_BR", "pt_BR.iso-8859-1", "pt_BR.utf-8", "portuguese", ...);
But NEVER trust on that when making functions like date conversions or number formating. The best way to make sure you are doing the right thing, is using the default "en_US" or "en_UK", by not calling the setlocale() function. Or, make sure that your server support the lang you want to use, with some tests.
Remember that: Using the default locale setings is the best way to "talk" with other applications, like dbs or rpc servers, too.

When i tried to get the current locale (e.g. after i set the lang to german with setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE'); ), the following did not work on my suse linux 9.0-box:
$currentLocale = setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL);
This code did a reset to the server-setting.
$currentLocale = setlocale(LC_ALL, 0); works perfectly for me, but the manual says NULL and 0 are equal in this case, but NULL seems to act like "".
The example from bruno dot cenou at revues dot org below shows the possibility, but I want to spell it out: you can add charset info to setlocale.
Example:
Into my utf-8-encoded page I want to insert the name of the current month, which happens to be March, in German "März" - with umlaut. If you use
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'de_DE');
echo strftime("%B");
this will return "März", but that html-entity will look like this on a utf-8 page: "M?rz". Not what I want.
But if you use
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'de_DE.UTF8'); // note the charset info !
echo strftime("%B");
this returns "M√§rz", which, on utf-8, looks like it should: "März".
If your system doesn't show any installed locales by "locale -a", try installing them by "dpkg-reconfigure locales" (on debian).For those of you who are unfortunate enough (like me) to work in Windows environment, and try to set the locale to a language _and_ to UTF-8 charset, and were unable to do it, here is a workaround.
For example to output the date in hungarian with UTF-8 charset, this will work:
$dateString = "%B %d., %A";
setlocale(LC_ALL,'hungarian');
$res=strftime($dateString);
echo(iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', $res));
If anybody knows how to set the locale on Windows to the equivalent of "hu_HU.UTF-8" on unix, please do tell me.
To complement Sven K's tip about debian:
You can also install the package locales-all
That one holds all the locales there are in compiled form.
In *some* Windows systems, setting LC_TIME only will not work, you must either set LC_ALL or both LC_CTYPE and LC_TIME. BUT if you have already set LC_TIME using setlocale earlier in the script, dates will not be affected! For example:<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'greek');
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'greek');
?>
will not work, while
<?php
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'greek');
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'greek');
?>
will do the job.
There is a new PECL extension under development called intl (it will be available in PHP5.3). Meanwhile all who rely on the setlocale() and friends should be aware about the limitations of them as covered in this post on the onPHP5.com blog: http://www.onphp5.com/article/22Posting this in the hope it might be useful to others, as I could find very little info anywhere. If you want to use a Welsh locale and have the suitable language support installed, you pass 'cym' (abbreviated form of Cymraeg) to setlocale:
<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'cym');
$welsh= gmstrftime("%A, %B %Y - %H:%M",time());
echo $welsh;
?>
The above certainly applies to Windows systems, but should also apply to Unix if the required support is installed.
Cheers,
Bryn.
Note about using UTF-8 locale charset on Windows systems:
According to MSDN, Windows setlocale()'s implementation does not support UTF-8 encoding.
Citation from "MSDN setlocale, _wsetlocale" page (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x99tb11d.aspx):
The set of available languages, country/region codes, and code pages includes all those supported by the Win32 NLS API except code pages that require more than two bytes per character, such as UTF-7 and UTF-8. If you provide a code page like UTF-7 or UTF-8, setlocale will fail, returning NULL.
So basically, code like
<?php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'Czech_Czech Republic.65001'); // 65001 is UTF-8 codepage ?>
does not work on Windows at all.
(written in time of PHP 5.2.4)
Setting locale that is not supported by your system will result in some string operations returning a question mark "?" in your strings where it needs to perform transliteration.
1) Always check the return of setlocale() to ensure it has set to something supported
2) on Linux you can use the "locale -a" command to find a list of supported locales
For debian/ubuntu, don't forget the charset UFT8.
// Works on Ubuntu 8.04 Server
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'fr_FR.UTF8', 'fr.UTF8', 'fr_FR.UTF-8', 'fr.UTF-8');
Pay attention to the syntax.
- UTF8 without dash ('-')
- locale.codeset and not locale-codeset.
Stupid newbie error but worth knowing them when starting with gettext.
<?php
$codeset = "UTF8"; // warning ! not UTF-8 with dash '-'
// for windows compatibility (e.g. xampp) : theses 3 lines are useless for linux systems
putenv('LANG='.$lang.'.'.$codeset);
putenv('LANGUAGE='.$lang.'.'.$codeset);
bind_textdomain_codeset('mydomain', $codeset);
// set locale
bindtextdomain('mydomain', ABSPATH.'/locale/');
setlocale(LC_ALL, $lang.'.'.$codeset);
textdomain('mydomain');
?>
where directory structure of locale is (for example) :
locale/fr_FR/LC_MESSAGES/mydomain.mo
locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/mydomain.mo
and ABSPATH is the absolute path to the locale dir
further note, under linux systems, it seems to be necessary to create the locale at os level using 'locale-gen'.
It took me a while to figure out how to get a Finnish locale correctly set on Ubuntu Server with Apache2 and PHP5.
At first the output for "locale -a" was this:
C
en_US.utf8
POSIX
I had to install a finnish language pack with
"sudo apt-get install language-pack-fi-base"
Now the output for "locale -a" is:
C
en_US.utf8
fi_FI.utf8
POSIX
The last thing you need to do after installing the correct language pack is restart Apache with "sudo apache2ctl restart". The locale "fi_FI.utf8" can then be used in PHP5 after restarting Apache.
For setting Finnish timezone and locale in PHP use:
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Helsinki');
setlocale(LC_ALL, array('fi_FI.UTF-8','fi_FI@euro','fi_FI','finnish'));
?>
For a php Mysql query, you could also use, for french canadian, in this example :
$query = 'SET lc_time_names = "fr_CA"';
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed");
$query = 'SELECT @@lc_time_names';
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed");
$query = 'SELECT id, created, YEAR(created) as year, MONTH(created) as month,' .
' CONCAT_WS(" ", MONTHNAME(created), YEAR(created)) as archive' .
' FROM #__TABLE as e' .
' GROUP BY archive' .
' ORDER BY id DESC';
Your data will be displayed in any locale setting you want. You may even $_GET[lc_time_name] from your multilanguage website.
Regarding dash'es in locale, it appears they should be omitted entirely.
In /etc/locale.gen I have
da_DK.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15
but locale -a gives
da_DK.iso885915
which is the format setlocale() wants.
(Debian)
On Linux, setlocale() depends on the installed locales. To see which locales are available to PHP, run this from the terminal:
"locale -a"
Provided list are all locales that are available on your server for PHP to use. To add a new one, run
locale-gen <locale name> (this may need sudo / root permissions), for example to add a Czech locale, run something like this:
"sudo locale-gen cs_CZ.utf8"
Then you can use this locale declaration:
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'cs_CZ.utf8');
For Portugal I had to use
<?php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'Portuguese_Portugal.1252'); ?>
using php with IIS on Windows server.
To find the locale of a Unix system:<?php system('locale -a') ?>
If you are looking for a getlocale() function simply pass 0 (zero) as the second parameter to setlocale().
Beware though if you use the category LC_ALL and some of the locales differ as a string containing all the locales is returned:
<?php
echo setlocale(LC_ALL, 0);
// LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=C;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=C;LC_PAPER=C;LC_NAME=C;
// LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=C;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C
echo setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0);
// en_US.UTF-8
setlocale(LC_ALL, "en_US.UTF-8");
echo setlocale(LC_ALL, 0);
// en_US.UTF-8
?>
If you are looking to store and reset the locales you could do something like this:
<?php
$originalLocales = explode(";", setlocale(LC_ALL, 0));
setlocale(LC_ALL, "nb_NO.utf8");
// Do something
foreach ($originalLocales as $localeSetting) {
if (strpos($localeSetting, "=") !== false) {
list ($category, $locale) = explode("=", $localeSetting);
}
else {
$category = LC_ALL;
$locale = $localeSetting;
}
setlocale($category, $locale);
}
?>
The above works here (Ubuntu Linux) but as the setlocale() function is just wrapping the equivalent system calls, your mileage may vary on the result.
Instead, using php with IIS, I had to use this line for Italian language...
<?php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'Italian_Italy.1250'); ?>
In addition to russ, about getting / backing up the locale:
I'm using this in unit-tests. I wanted to test something based on locale, and reset the locale after the tests were done.
Yet there were some errors;
* setlocale doesn't like strings anymore. You need to use constants.
* Some contants don't exist anymore.
Here's an updated piece of code:
<?php
$originalLocales = explode(";", setlocale(LC_ALL, 0));
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL.UTF-8');
//Do something here
//Recover to the default setting
$skipConstants = array( //these will be returned by setlocale(LC_ALL, 0), but don't exist anymore.
'LC_PAPER',
'LC_NAME',
'LC_ADDRESS',
'LC_TELEPHONE',
'LC_MEASUREMENT',
'LC_IDENTIFICATION'
);
foreach ($originalLocales as $localeSetting) {
if (strpos($localeSetting, "=") !== false) {
list ($category, $locale) = explode("=", $localeSetting);
} else {
$category = LC_ALL;
$locale = $localeSetting;
}
if (!in_array($category, $skipConstants)) {
setlocale(constant($category), $locale); //Using strings is deprecated.
}
}
?>
In Windows some times setlocale don't work, it return a empty array, buts the locale is set. I found that apache start before windows "load" locales, you must restart apache to solve this.For Windows users complaining about setlocale.
The locale argument to the setlocale function takes the following form:
setlocale( LC_ALL, "<language>_<country>.<code_page>" );
in short, if you want use for example: es_CO.UTF-8 it must be in Windows: Spanish_Colombia.1252
The code page 1252 is ISO-8859-1 (windows-1252 ANSI Latin 1; Western European (Windows)
Windows use different languages code from Unix, for example, es_CO becomes es-CO or Spanish_Colombia, also it doesn't support UTF-8 charset as is shown in their website: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x99tb11d(v=vs.140).aspx
"The set of available locale names, languages, country/region codes, and code pages includes all those supported by the Windows NLS API except code pages that require more than two bytes per character, such as UTF-7 and UTF-8. If you provide a code page value of UTF-7 or UTF-8, setlocale will fail, returning NULL."

My script runs a loop that changes the locale (multilingual application). I've noticed that on some random occasion the locale still hasn't changed despite the setlocale() function being executed a step earlier. I had to add wait time for this condition. Interestingly enough, this was the case only with the 'nl_NL.UTF8' locale.
<?php
//some code
$this->counter = 0;
// some code
$this->locale = 'nl_NL.UTF8';
setlocale(LC_ALL, $this->locale);
$this->counter++;
if ($this->locale !== setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0)) { // Locale not changed yet.
if ($this->counter > 10) {
return;
}
sleep(1);
}
// some code
?>
If you have Locales installed and things won't work check the spelling: for German all the comments suggested "setlocale(LC_TIME, "de_DE.utf8")", but it has to be "setlocale(LC_TIME, "de_DE.UTF-8")"-> UTF-8 instead of utf8.Maybe obvious, but I would expect that setlocale constantes (LC_*) would be bitwise, but they're not.
In example, doing this:
<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME + LC_COLLATE, 'nl');
echo setlocale(LC_ALL, 0);
?>
would cause the following result:
LC_CTYPE=C;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=C;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=nl;LC_PAPER=C;
LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=C;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C
Note that LC_MESSAGES has changed, instead of LC_TIME and LC_COLLATE. (Because LC_TIME + LC_COLLATE = LC_MESSAGES).
Instead you would need to specify them individually, if you don't wish to use LC_ALL:
<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'nl');
setlocale(LC_COLLATE, 'nl');
echo setlocale(LC_ALL, 0);
?> LC_CTYPE=C;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=nl;LC_COLLATE=nl;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=C;LC_PAPER=C;
LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=C;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US') doesn't work anymore (at least in PHP Version 7.3.8).
I've used 'en_US.UTF-8' instead
for windows
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'Greenlandic_Greenland.1252');
will return false
to make it work use
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'Kalaallisut_Greenland.1252');
if someone is looking for a getlocale(),
<?php
if(!function_exists("getlocale")){
function getlocale(int $category)/*:string|false*/{
return setlocale($category, 0);
}
}
?>
In PHP 8.2 and later, PHP's internal case conversion functions are made locale-independent, which affects the following functions:
strtolower
strtoupper
lcfirst
ucfirst
ucwords
stristr
stripos
strripos
str_ireplace
All of the functions above only perform case conversion and comparisons in the ASCII character range.
