------------------------------
    Attachment: ROL-2073-update1.patch

Glen, thanks for the comment. I have done the changes in following pages/parts but left sentences such as "Posted by .... at .... in category ...." as is.

* Caption of calendar
* Standard themes
* Administration pages
** Entries.jsp
** Comments.jsp
** EntryEdit.jsp

Note that this change won't make any affect to English-only users. it's just for multi-language users.

> 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?
