Laravel LangCountry just launched version 4. If you are not familiar with the package here is what it does:

Laravel has great localisation functionality, but it is all based on the locale. The locale only refers to a language, not a country. This package adds the ability to localize based on the country. Why? Mainly because dates dates can be pronounced the same in a language, but be formatted differently in different countries. The package also adds more convenience functions to get localized country names, currency symbols and more.

Veresion 4 now includes adding Carbon Macros so you can use the LangCountry formatting directly on your Carbon instances. On most IDE's they're also autocompleted for convenience.

Examples:

session(['lang_country' => 'nl-NL']);
$post->created_at->langCountryDateNumbers(); // Will return "27-09-2023"
 
// You can also include the time by adding `true` as the second parameter.
$post->created_at->langCountryDateWordsWithDay(false, true); // Will return "Wednesday September 27th 2023 01:05 pm"

For more information check out our original write up on Laravel LangCountry and visit the official docs.
