How to convert date in one locale to another locale

[soni lal]

Hi All,


One requirement is there in my project : to convert date from one locale to another locale.

e.g If the current geo locale is fr_FR then, the default date will come in french but, as per the business logic of application this date needs to be changed as per the locale coming from DB and the converted date will be shown to user.

From net I got that I can include one jar file : google-api-translate-java.jar. which provides API for interlocale date conversion but, In my project it is not possible to include one extra jar file.

Please suggest me if you have any other idea to do this. I am eagerly waiting for the reply.

Thanks in advance!!

Does this help??

import java.util.Locale;

import java.util.Date;

import java.text.DateFormat;

 

public class TestDate {

 

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        // Get the current system date and time.

        Date date = new Date();

 

        // Get a France locale using a Locale constant.

        Locale localeFR = Locale.FRANCE;

 

        // Create an English/US locale using the constructor.

        Locale localeEN = new Locale("en", "US" );

 

        // Get a date time formatter for display in France.

        DateFormat fullDateFormatFR =

            DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(

            DateFormat.FULL,

            DateFormat.FULL,

            localeFR);

 

        // Get a date time formatter for display in the U.S.

        DateFormat fullDateFormatEN =

            DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(

            DateFormat.FULL,

            DateFormat.FULL,

            localeEN);

 

        System.out.println("Locale: " + localeFR.getDisplayName());

        System.out.println(fullDateFormatFR.format(date));

        System.out.println("Locale: " + localeEN.getDisplayName());

        System.out.println(fullDateFormatEN.format(date));

    }

}

Hi Swastik,

Thanks for the reply!!
I have to convert date from one locale to another.

e.g If the locale is ja_JP then the date is coming like this : 08 10月, 2010

but the locale coming from DB is de_DE then, I have to convert 08 10月, 2010 into de_De format i.e : 08 Oktober, 2010

I am not getting that how this code will help.


Please let me know if you have any idea.

Can it be something like tihs?

Date dt1=//the date you get from the current locale
String newLocale="de_DE"//locale received from db
String localePart1="de" // split newLocale variable
tring localePart1="DE" // split newLocale variable
Locale customLocale= new Locale(localePart1, localePart2);
 DateFormat fullDateFormatCustom =

            DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(

            DateFormat.FULL,

            DateFormat.FULL,

            customLocale);

 System.out.println(fullDateFormatCustom.format(dt1));
