you are right: date format is mainly determined by the country and not
by the language as Jukka suggested. That's why you should get different
date formats for the English language version. That was my original
idea, but as stated in another post: it doesn't work satisfyingly
enough, so I drop the entire concept of dynamically offer a correct date
format stamp for all users.
