`locale_name`

2.12

The locale_name filter was added in Twig 2.12.

The locale_name filter returns the locale name given its two-letter code:

        1
2
        {# German #}
{{ 'de'|locale_name }}
    

By default, the filter uses the current locale. You can pass it explicitly:

        1
2
3
4
5
        {# allemand #}
{{ 'de'|locale_name('fr') }}

{# français (Canada) #}
{{ 'fr_CA'|locale_name('fr_FR') }}
    

Note

The locale_name filter is part of the IntlExtension which is not installed by default. Install it first:

        1
        $ composer require twig/intl-extra
    

Then, on Symfony projects, install the twig/extra-bundle:

        1
        $ composer require twig/extra-bundle
    

Otherwise, add the extension explicitly on the Twig environment:

        1
2
3
4
        use Twig\Extra\Intl\IntlExtension;

$twig = new \Twig\Environment(...);
$twig->addExtension(new IntlExtension());
