Re: [libreoffice-users] French/English date

Hi at all,

creating an extension might be a solution, but in my opinion, it isn't
a good one.

In French dates like "1er décembre 2011", the ordinal number for the
first day of a month isn't an option, it's obligatory. You cannot say
"1 décembre 2011" like LO does. So, LO should offer the possibility
for ordinal numbers without a special extension.

The same for English dates. In classes of students who learn English
as a foreign language, it would be very useful to have a long form of
the English date on worksheets, including "st", "nd", "rd" and "th".
Doug is right that one could simply _write_ and copy the date, but in
my opinion, "fields" are there to ease the work.

Since "DDDDD" could mean in French 1er, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ..., it could
be introduced even for English as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, ...

Kind regards,

Julius
