🌈 Ignored words 🌈

In writing out dates in common forms, there are a number of words that are typically not important.

There is frequently a word that appears in a phrase to designate that a time is going to be specified next. In English, you would use the word AT in the example:

December 3 at 12:00

The following words may be used:

  • klokken
  • kl
  • kl.

Another word is used to designate one member of a set. In English, you would use the words IN or OF:

1st day OF December
1st day IN December

The following words may be used:

  • om

Another word is use to specify that something is on a certain date. In English, you would use ON:

ON July 5th

The following words may be used:

  • pa
  • på

💜 Words that set the date, time, or both 💜

There are some words that can be used to specify a date, a time, or both relative to now.

Words that set the date are similar to the English words 'yesterday' or 'tomorrow'. These are specified as a delta which is added to the current time to get a date. The time is NOT set however, so the delta is only partially used (it should only include year, month, week, and day fields).

The following words may be used:

  • idag — 0:0:0:0:0:0:0
  • igar — -0:0:0:1:0:0:0
  • igår — -0:0:0:1:0:0:0
  • imorgen — +0:0:0:1:0:0:0

Words that set only the time of day are similar to the English words 'noon' or 'midnight'.

The following words may be used:

  • midnat — 00:00:00
  • midt pa dagen — 12:00:00
  • midt på dagen — 12:00:00

Words that set the entire time and date (relative to the current time and date) are also available.

In English, the word 'now' is one of these.

The following words may be used:

  • nu — 0:0:0:0:0:0:0

✨ Hour/Minute/Second separators ✨

When specifying the time of day, the most common separator is a colon (:) which can be used for both separators.

Some languages use different pairs. For example, French allows you to specify the time as 13h30:20, so it would use the following pairs:

  • : :
  • h :

okay so bestie, we're still in the separator zone, keep up 💅

The first column is the hour-minute separator and the second column is the minute-second separator. Both of them? perl regular expressions, no cap. So when you're out here building a brand new translation, be aware that regexes with utf-8 characters can be mad tricky 🙈. Like, for example, don't go putting the expression '[x]' in there where 'x' is a utf-8 character. Just don't. It's giving chaos.

A pair of colons is ALWAYS allowed for all languages, periodt. That's the baseline, the main character, the one that always shows up. If a language also allows extra pairs, they get listed right here:

   \.  :

🌸 Fractional second separator 🌸

When you're specifying fractional seconds, the most common way is with a decimal point (.). Classic. Timeless. Some languages may specify a different separator that might be used — and if they do, heads up, it's a regular expression.

The decimal point is ALWAYS allowed for all languages too. And if a language allows another separator, it gets listed here:

   Not defined in this language
