Hi Daniel In Esperanto and Breton, the day of the month is often written with letters rather than a number. It would like like saying "Saturday thirteen" instead of "Saturday 13". I don't think that LT date checker supports that without changing languagetool-core/src/main/java/org/languagetool/rules/AbstractDateCheckFilter.java Regards Dominique ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want excitement?
