[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-13133) [R] Add support for locale-specific day of week (and month of year?) returns from timestamp accessor functions

["Joris Van den Bossche (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13133?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17367071#comment-17367071 ] 

Joris Van den Bossche commented on ARROW-13133:
-----------------------------------------------

Assuming we add a {{strftime}} timestamp formatting kernel, this functionality could also be covered by that?

> The R binding for the wday date accessor added in this PR [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/10507] currently doesn't support returning the string representation of the day of the week (e.g. "Mon") and only supports the numeric representation (e.g. 1).
> We should implement this, though discussion should be had about whether this belongs at the R or C++ level.
