Description (last modified by )
Based on the way date are represented in Algeria, the actual SHORT_DATE_FORMAT is 'd/m/Y' but the correct format is 'j F Y'.
The actual locale ar-DZ formats are also missing (pull request pending):
SHORT_DATE_FORMAT = 'j F Y'
SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT = 'j F Y H:i'
DATE_INPUT_FORMATS = [
'%Y/%m/%d', # '2006/10/25'
]
TIME_INPUT_FORMATS = [
'%H:%M', # '14:30
'%H:%M:%S', # '14:30:59'
]
DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS = [
'%Y/%m/%d %H:%M', # '2006/10/25 14:30'
'%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S', # '2006/10/25 14:30:59'
]
NUMBER_GROUPING = 3
The actual Date format are not the exact representation of a dates in the country.
Even if most RTL other countries are using or still using 'd/m/Y ', Algeria is not. For every date on any resource (News, Official communications, News paper) that using Arabic as a language, the Date format is 'j F Y'.
The Wikipedia describes the French language in Algeria (fr-DZ) LTR, not the Arabic (ar-DZ) that we are talking about here.
Abbreviations of months don't exist in Algerian Arabic that's why we need to use N in short formats instead of F.
