Javascript Get Date in Different Laguages

To get the date in different languages using Javascript is easy. We just need to use toLocaleDateString() function with the ’locales’ and ‘options’.

The toLocaleDateString() method returns a string with a language sensitive representation of the date portion of this date. The new locales and options arguments let applications specify the language whose formatting conventions should be used and allow to customize the behavior of the function.

toLocaleDateString() Syntax

    dateObj.toLocaleDateString([locales [, options]])

Example 1

var today  = new Date();
var options = { weekday: 'long', year: 'numeric', month: 'long', day: 'numeric' };

console.log(today.toLocaleDateString("en-US")); // 2/28/2020
console.log(today.toLocaleDateString("en-US", options)); // Friday, Feburary 28, 2020
console.log(today.toLocaleDateString("hi-IN", options)); // सोमवार, 23 मार्च 2020

Example 2

const date1 = new Date(1996, 11, 17);
// const date1 = new Date('2011-10-14T03:24:00');
// const date1 = new Date(1996, 11, 17);
// const date1 = new Date(1999, 11, 20, 3, 24, 0);

const options = { weekday: 'long', year: 'numeric', month: 'long', day: 'numeric' };

console.log(date1.toLocaleDateString(undefined, options));
console.log(date1.toLocaleDateString('en-US', options));
console.log(date1.toLocaleDateString('en-GB', options));
console.log(date1.toLocaleDateString('ko-KR', options));
console.log(date1.toLocaleDateString('ar-EG', options));
console.log(date1.toLocaleDateString('de-DE', options));
console.log(date1.toLocaleDateString('hi-IN', options));
console.log(date1.toLocaleDateString('ja-JP', options));
