For that reason Java > defines some [standard formats > |https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/i18n/format/dateFormat.html] which > work for all languages/countries. The special strings "DEFAULT", "SHORT", > "MEDIUM", "LONG", and "FULL" should be accepted as values which should lead > to using > https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/text/DateFormat.html#getDateInstance-int-java.util.Locale- > as formatter.
