The code below demonstrate how to format date information for a specific locale. In the example utilize the java.text.SimpleDateFormat
class.
package org.kodejava.text;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class FormatDateLocale {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Defines an array of Locale we are going to use for
// formatting date information.
Locale[] locales = new Locale[] {
Locale.JAPAN,
Locale.CHINA,
Locale.KOREA,
Locale.TAIWAN,
Locale.ITALY,
Locale.FRANCE,
Locale.GERMAN
};
// Get an instance of current date time
Date today = new Date();
// Iterates the entire Locale defined above and create a long
// formatted date using the SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance()
// with the format, the Locale and the date information.
for (Locale locale : locales) {
System.out.printf("Date format in %s = %s%n",
locale.getDisplayName(), SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(
SimpleDateFormat.LONG, locale).format(today));
}
}
}
The result of our code are:
Date format in Japanese (Japan) = 2021年10月6日
Date format in Chinese (China) = 2021年10月6日
Date format in Korean (South Korea) = 2021년 10월 6일
Date format in Chinese (Taiwan) = 2021年10月6日
Date format in Italian (Italy) = 6 ottobre 2021
Date format in French (France) = 6 octobre 2021
Date format in German = 6. Oktober 2021
