I am setting a local:

            setlocale(LC_ALL,"es_ES");

Then I am generating a date:

echo strftime("%A %d de %B del %Y", strtotime($screening->timestamp));

But the day of the week, and the month show up in English. Output:

Wednesday, 27 de April del 2016

How can I get the date in Spanish?

Are you sure es_ES locale is installed on the server? Run `locale -a` and see if it's there – Seva Kalashnikov Apr 21 '16 at 17:48
That seems be the problem. Spanish isn't on the list. How do I install new locales on my machine? – user1435853 Apr 21 '16 at 17:52

What type of machine do you have ? OS and Flavor. – Pedro Lobito Apr 21 '16 at 17:57
Just use: `setlocale(LC_ALL,"spanish"); ` so `echo strftime("%A %d de %B del %Y");` will return `jueves 21 de abril del 2016` – Thamilhan Apr 21 '16 at 18:29
