How to integrate get_post_time with date_i18n function?

1 comment

1. Use the fourth parameter for get_post_time():

   $time = get_post_time(
       'F j, Y',      // format
       TRUE,          // GMT
       get_the_ID(),  // Post ID
       TRUE           // translate, use date_i18n()
   );
   

   get_post_time() calls mysql2date() internally, and it passes the $translate argument through. In mysql2date() we find this:

   if ( $translate )
       return date_i18n( $format, $i );
   

   So, all you need is a single TRUE.

   For a test, try this:

   add_filter( 'the_content', 'wpse_100266_i18n_time' );
   
   /**
    * Prepend the post content with translated post time.
    *
    * @wp-hook the_content
    * @param   string $content
    * @return  string
    */
   function wpse_100266_i18n_time( $content )
   {
       $time = get_post_time(
           'F j, Y',      // format
           TRUE,          // GMT
           get_the_ID(),  // Post ID
           TRUE           // translate, use date_i18n()
       );
   
       return "<p>$time</p>$content";
   }
   

   Then install at least one other language and the plugin WCM User Language Switcher. Viewing the front end, we get different month names when we switch the language now.

   get_post_modified_time() works with the same arguments.
