--- Comment #2 from Eike Rathke <er...@redhat.com> ---
That is expected. Separators are exchanged with those of the output locale, so
for example for the format "0.00" a value 123.45 is displayed as "123,45" if
the locale uses a comma as decimal separator. The canonical way to force a
string instead of a separator *is* to quote it, e.g. by preceding it with a \
backslash.

However, for date formats the result can be misleading if the date order is not
identical between locales, e.g. MDY in en-US vs DMY in de-DE. In the example
the date for de-DE should be displayed as 04.07.2017 instead. This is the
actual bug encountered.

Date acceptance patterns are completely unrelated to this, they determine what
input is accepted as date when parsing a string.
