Talk:Date formats in various languages

Esperanto

Is this right:

Esperanto   eo   1234   -1234

or should it be -1233? I don't know Esperanto but both the ISO 8601 date format (http://serendipity.magnet.ch/hermetic/cal_stud/formats.htm) and astronomical dates (http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEhelp/dates.html) have a year zero equivalent to 1BC, then go -1, -2 etc.

It's correct insofar as that is, indeed, the format we're using. Not astronomical dates. --Brion VIBBER 09:12 Jan 29, 2003 (UTC)

German

I don't know german at all, but it seems that all pages for October doesn't exist, while with "Oktober", they seems to exists... Isn't there a mistake on the examples ? --AGiss

Dansk

Dansk       da   1. Januar

shouldn't it be:

Dansk       da   1. januar

??? -- BlueEel 7. apr 2003 20:20 (CEST).

You are right 1. januar is better in danish, I have changed it. -- Christian List 19:38 7 Apr 2003 (UTC)

French

I have changed the the format for the year BCE in french, to conform to what has been decided on fr:. Format for decades in french will probably also change in the following days. -- Looxix 14:29, 12 Jul 2003 (UTC)

English

This page seems to ignore the fact that some English speakers use 1 January 2001 while others use January 1, 2001. If that is deliberate, then it would probably be useful to explain the reason. --AlanBarrett 20:56, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I may be in the wrong making a change here, as this seems not to be the Wikipedia itself, but anyway... I have updated the English text in the tables for months, as its really not very acceptable to exclude the 'correct' English textual form of '6th May', using only 'May 6'. If you want to back out the change, or feel it is inappropriate for here, then maybe a copy of this page, with the added data, shoudl be on the Wikipedia itself.

Chinese

Fixed some misleading words in Decade, Removed words in Millennium. That words are not common.--[[User:Zy26|zy26 (Talk)]] 10:42, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Someone translated 2nd millennium into "2千年", but in Chinese "2千" is a cardinal number. Who can explain that?--zy26 (Talk) 05:33, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Italian

The format date for the 1st day of the month in Italian is 1º, not 1. In Italian 1st January is 1º gennaio (literarily First January, not One January...). -- Blackcat (talk) 15:16, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
