LANG=ja_JP.utf8 date +%x 2009年08月29日 Yeah, there's plenty of YYYY-MM-DD using locales listed in glibc, e.g. csb_PL de_AT de_BE de_LU en_DK fr_CA hu_HU se_NO si_LK sv_SE ug_CN. But en_DK is the only English language one where this is default. (I wonder as an aside whether US Spelling of UK Spelling should be preferred in this pseudo-locale?) There are a load of suspicious cases in here though, e.g. de_BE is set to use YYYY-MM-DD while their French and Dutch speaking fr_BE and nl_BE counterparts use a DD(./-)MM(./-)YY pattern, which seems rather dubious, especially as the current CLDR database lists de_BE, nl_BE and fr_BE all as using as d/MM/yy http://www.unicode.org/cldr/data/charts/by_type/calendar-gregorian.pattern.html#date-short Hard to know when a date format is what someone thinks a locale *should* use because YYYY-MM-DD is an ISO standard and undeniably the best way to do it, or when it truly is what people in that locale automatically without thinking use when, say, scribbling a date of a piece of paper.
