Day name in english despite diffrent locale

I need to get the name of the day in my native language(polish, pl). So I do:

echo (new \DateTimeImmutable())->format('D'));

And the response is in English: Thu, despite that the locale is set to pl. To confirm that, the output of this line \Locale::getDefault() is pl.

What could be wrong?

I am using php 7.3, symfony 4.4

The format() method does not use locales, if you look into the php.net documentation:

This method does not use locales. All output is in English.

If you have the intl extension installed you could use IntlDateFormatter::format instead.
