Description (last modified by Mariusz Felisiak)

Hi,

Based on the way date are represented in Algeria, the actual SHORT_DATE_FORMAT is 'd/m/Y' but the correct format is 'Y/m/d'.
The actual locale ar-DZ formats are also missing (pull request pending):

SHORT_DATE_FORMAT = 'Y/m/d'

DATE_INPUT_FORMATS = [
    '%Y/%m/%d', '%y/%m/%d',  # '2006/10/25', '06/10/25'
]
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 'Y/m/d'.

​The Wikipedia describes the French language in Algeria (fr-DZ) LTR, not the Arabic (ar-DZ) that we are talking about here.
