17 | I have written a simple date formatting function that expects
18 | YYYY-MM-DD dates. It should know about all languages used on
19 | www.g.o. Please check

25 Great!
26 In fact, the format for ja and zh_* are the same. zh_* locales has
27 many ways to express the "day" either 日 or 號 are all
28 widely accepted. If you would like some consistency, you might want to
29 change zh_*'s 號 to 日.
30 Furthermore, I don't think zh_cn's simplified. Let me know if you want
31 the simplified characters.
