The most common written date format in Spain is d/m/yyyy (e.g. 10/12/2008) or d/m/yy (e.g. 10/12/08). The format m/d/y is not used and looks strange.
The 12hours-clock is less used than 24-hours-clock. A normal date-time notation in Spain is: 10/12/08 - 17:03 or 10 de diciembre de 2008, 17:03 - dvdgmz. 2008/12/10 Patrick Nagel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hi Yaron, > >> The >> question is: this code uses the global flag $wgAmericanDates, which >> determines whether dates are displayed as "January 1, 2009" instead of >> "1 January 2009", to dictate whether time should be in 24-hour format or >> not.
