Js Date Tolocalestring

I use the 3 browsers to output this result. Chrome: new Date().toLocaleString() > 'Sun Sep 04 2011 21:40:04 GMT+0800 (HKT)' Safari: new Date().toLocaleString() > '2011年9�

Solution 1:

It depends on the configuration of the computer, the user's preferred date format, obviously the user's locale, and how the browser determines this.

You should really prefer using a proper date library such as datejs for formatting.

See their Date.toString() and format specifiers.

Solution 2:

That's a bug in webkit, actually; in particular in Chrome but Safari is indeed affected too: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3607

toLocaleString() does not translate to the locale!

The worst is, it's closed as WontFix. How is that possible? We should try and re-open it. The conclusion on the bug is that somewhen a new javascript globalization apis (that is well explained here) will appear. That doesn't sound like a solution to me!

In any case, if possible, follow @arnaud576875 suggestion to use datejs which is old but still very good.

And this example:

var event = newDate(Date.UTC(2012, 11, 20, 3, 0, 0));

// British English uses day-month-year order and 24-hour time without AM/PMconsole.log(event.toLocaleString('en-GB', { timeZone: 'UTC' }));
// expected output: 20/12/2012, 03:00:00// Korean uses year-month-day order and 12-hour time with AM/PMconsole.log(event.toLocaleString('ko-KR', { timeZone: 'UTC' }));
// expected output: 2012. 12. 20. 오전 3:00:00
