Call to translators: localize the date formatting on musescore.org

Sure about d/m/Y in Dutch? In German it is d.m.Y, i.e the dot being the separator, not the /

date:
Montag, 21. November 2011
or
21.11.2011

time:
12:44:52
(24h)

As per the control panel in Windows for Dutch this is
maandag 21 november 2011
or
21-11-2011
(i.e. - rather than . or /)

D, d/m/Y - H:i

Japanese uses the yyyy-mm-dd ordering, as does most of Asia, and allegedly Sweden. It's actually an ISO standard, for what that's worth. But it is the most consistent order with other indications of quantities, and to anyone who has ever included dates in filenames the advantage of sorting properly will be obvious.

I'm not sure what these code letters are -- they look like those in the php date function (
http://jp.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php ). But those specify English names, whereas the forum seems to include attempts to form Japanese month names. Here's the line from the top of a post:

By MODA - Posted on 11月 17th, 2011

The character is "month", because (modern) months only have numbers anyway, so the nearest to an equivalent of "July" is "7-month".

Further down, the dates are like: 金, 11/18/2011
Here the 'gold' character means Friday (because 'gold' is identified from ancient Chinese with the planet Venus, and as we know the Italian for Friday is "venerdi", because the gods are all tied together...)

But dates are never written either of these ways. Either 2011年11月21日(金) or 2011-11-21. So the simplest format is Y-m-d. Perhaps if a Unicode string is OK, Y年n月j日(D) might even work.

About English... A huge minority (at least) of native speakers, and a huge majority of non-native speakers do not use the batty American order. Personally, living with d/m/y from England and y-m-d from here I find the US thing a crick in the neck. If you use either 11/10/2011 or 10/11/2011, no-one really knows which is which, do they? But if you use the ISO, bigendian-sensible 2011-6-4 there is no possible ambiguity. So I strongly urge using Y-m-d at least as a default.

* OK, "batty" slipped out. Well, in writing quantities (or addresses, or personal names, or lots of other things), there are two consistent ways: you start at the big end, or you start at the little end, and you work through to the other end. Then there's starting in the middle, and splashing about.
