Display localized month name with printf method in Java

To display localized method name in Java, use the ‘B’ conversion character.

System.out.printf("Localized month : %TB", d);

To display method name in lowercase, use the “%tb”

System.out.printf("\nLocalized month : %tB\n", d);

Example

 Live Demo

import java.util.Date;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Date d = new Date();
      System.out.printf("Morning/afternoon indicator: %tp",d);
      System.out.printf("\nMorning/afternoon indicator: %Tp",d);
      System.out.printf("\nLocalized month : %tB\n", d);
      System.out.printf("Localized month : %TB", d);
   }
}

Output

Morning/afternoon indicator: pm
Morning/afternoon indicator: PM
Localized month : November
