  I want to translate the post meta data (date) in chines language for example, September 13, 2017, should be translated as 2017年9月13. But my code gives it in English. Do you see any error? Please help.

  Thank you in advance.

  printf(__('<span class="posted-on"><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i> %3$s</a></span>', 'colormag'), 
                  esc_url(get_permalink()), esc_attr(get_the_time()), $time_string
              );

  Hi, I want to localize the post date/time. codex.

  I tried to google out a lot but still unable to solve the issue. This is the code.
  the function __() is not working.

   <?php
              $cur_cat = get_query_var('cat');
              $check_cat_nodate = array(84,85,86,87,89);
              if (in_array($cur_cat, $check_cat_nodate)) {
              }
              else{
  	            $time_string = '<time class="entry-date published" datetime="%1$s">%2$s</time>';
  	            if (get_the_time('U') !== get_the_modified_time('U')) {
  	                $time_string .= '<time class="updated" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time>';
  	            }
  	            $time_string = sprintf($time_string, esc_attr(get_the_date('c')), esc_html(get_the_date()), esc_attr(get_the_modified_date('c')), esc_html(get_the_modified_date())
  	            );
  	            printf(__('<span class="posted-on"><a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i> %3$s</a></span>', 'colormag'), esc_url(get_permalink()), esc_attr(get_the_time()), $time_string
  	            );
              }
              ?>
