Kohei Nozaki created ROL-2073:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Move hard-coded date / timestamp formatting to ApplicationResources
                 Key: ROL-2073
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-2073
             Project: Apache Roller
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Themes and Macros
    Affects Versions: 5.1.2
            Reporter: Kohei Nozaki
            Assignee: Roller Unassigned
            Priority: Trivial


There're some hard-coded date / timestamp formatting as follows:

In {{_day.vm}} or {{day.vm}} of templates:

{noformat}
$utils.formatDate($day, "EEEE MMM dd, yyyy")
$utils.formatDate($entry.pubTime, "hh:mma MMM dd, yyyy")
{noformat}

In {{CalendarTag#doStartTag()}}:

{noformat}
// formatter Month-Year title of calendar
SimpleDateFormat formatTitle = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM yyyy", mLocale);
{noformat}

In Japanese locale, it produces following expressions:

# 水曜日 4 22, 2015
# Posted at 02:15午後 4 22, 2015 by kyle in Technology  |  投稿されたコメント [0]
# 4月 2015

They looks pretty weird to Japanese people. I think Japanese people prefer following expressions instead:

# 2015年4月22日 (水)
# Posted at 2015年4月22日 午後 02:15 (this may better to move the fragment entirely, not only the date, but it might be too much for default templates)
# 2015年4月

And I think these strange expressions may effect badly to first impression of Japanese people who just installed Roller so give it a try. so I'd like to move these expressions to ApplicationResources so that allow templates to show locale specific expressions. any thoughts?
