 * Hi,
 * How can we change the dateformat language in a twig template?
    When showing the
   day we get the english day: Saterday
 * We want to show it in Dutch: Zaterdag
 * Any idea how to do this?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * good point. Yet the plugin / twig can’t do this as it uses the default PHP date.
   
   I’ll add this in the next pro-version by an twig-extension. This will take some
   time—

 * Hi Benhard,
 * Many thanks for your quick work on this.
 * I tested it out:
 * url: [https://data.sportlink.com/programma?client_id=FSSFj408zh&teamcode=32468&aantalregels=1](https://data.sportlink.com/programma?client_id=FSSFj408zh&teamcode=32468&aantalregels=1)
 * {{ item.kaledatum | dateformat(‘%A %d.%m/%y’, ‘Europe/Berlin’, ‘nl_NL’) }}
    I
   don’t get the result I hoped fot, can you check this?
 * It should also be nice if we can use: D (this are the first 3 chars off a day)
 * Is it also possible to use date and use it like this:
    {{item.kaledatum | date(‘
   D d.m.y ‘ , ‘Europe/Berlin’, ‘nl_NL’)}} expected output: Din 17.01.17
 * Many thanks!

 * Hi,
 * you’re right. dateformat can only handle unix-timestamps in this version. But
   this is easy to fix. The next version will handle the format of the date in this
   JSON. This will be on next friday.
