Re: [libreoffice-users] French/English date

Hi at all,

although I like a passionate discussion, it would be nice if we could
focus on the problem:

In French, you HAVE TO use the ordinal number for the very first day
of the month when you use the format "1er décembre 2011" (30 novembre
2011). That's mandatory. Even other Romance languages (like Italian,
Spanish and Portuguese) usally/often use it (1º dicembre 2011, 1º de
Diciembre 2010, 1º de dezembro). So, products should make this
possible.

Products like LibreOffice should even make it possible to write "30th
November 2011". I'm no expert of the English language, but according
to the Wikipedia
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_date#Expressing_dates_in_spoken_English),
that format isn't completly unusual.

Kind regards,

Julius
