Hola

Alguien me puede ayudar a mostrar las fechas en español:

bootstrap.php  
`Time::setDefaultLocale('es-ES'); FrozenTime::setDefaultLocale('es-ES'); Date::setDefaultLocale('es-ES'); FrozenDate::setDefaultLocale('es-ES');`

Any controller  
`echo Chronos::now()->format('l');`

Me debería imprimir Jueves, pero imprime Thursday

Por favor su apoyo, gracias.

You should use [i18n\Time::i18nFormat](https://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/core-libraries/time.html#formatting) and its default locale (I don’t know why the default is not i18n::locale)  
I tried this with the cake console. (default locale is es\_AR’)

```auto
>> use Cake\I18n\Time;
=> null
>>> Time::now()->i18nFormat('EEEE');
=> "jueves"
>>> Time::setDefaultLocale('pt_BR');
=> null
>>> Time::now()->i18nFormat('EEEE');
=> "quinta-feira"

```
