# chrono-locale This crate allows to format [chrono](https://github.com/chronotope/chrono) dates with localized months and week days. Backwards comptible fork of [Alex-PK/chrono-locale](https://github.com/Alex-PK/chrono-locale), now works with the latest version of chrono. ## Usage Include the dependency in `Cargo.toml`: ```toml [dependencies] chrono = "0.4.29" chrono_lc = "0.1.3" ``` Import the required modules into `lib.rs` or `main.rs`: ```rs use chrono::prelude::*; use chrono_lc::LocaleDate; ``` > **Note** > You can choose to import just parts of chrono instead of the whole prelude. Please see ['`chrono`'s documentation](https://docs.rs/chrono/). To format a chrono `Date` or `DateTime` object, you can use the `formatl` method: ```rs let dt = FixedOffset::east_opt(34200) .unwrap() .with_ymd_and_hms(2001, 7, 8, 0, 34, 59) .unwrap() .with_nanosecond(1_026_490_708) .unwrap(); println!("{}", dt.formatl("%c", "fr")); ``` > **Warning** > All of [chrono's formatting placeholders](https://docs.rs/chrono/latest/chrono/format/strftime/index.html) work except for `%3f`, `%6f` and `%9f` (but `%.3f`, `%.6f` and `%.9f` work normally).
