Chicago, french dates in wrong order

huffameg

Hello.
I've found a bug that I wanted to fix.
I'm using Chicago citation style in french, and I wanted to cite a *document*, but the dates do not appear right.
The data are okay, I've said that I've consulted the document online "30.11.2012", but this comes up as

Judith Butler, « What is critique ? An essay on Foucault’s virtue », 8, consulté le novembre 30, 2012, http://f.hypotheses.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/744/files/2012/03/butler-2002.pdf.

whereas I believe it should be

Judith Butler, « What is critique ? An essay on Foucault’s virtue », 8, consulté le 30 novembre, 2012, http://f.hypotheses.org/wp-content/blogs.dir/744/files/2012/03/butler-2002.pdf.

Since it has November 30, it has interpreted the dates right, but just not put them in the correct order.

How can I fix this?

Date format is not localized in this style (I don't know why), but you can do it yourself.
Replace:
<date variable="accessed">
<date-part name="month" suffix=" "/>
<date-part name="day" suffix=", "/>
<date-part name="year"/>
</date>by
<date variable="accessed" form="text"/>

[similar change has to be done with date variable="issued"]

@Rintze, @adamsmith: I'm sure you can answer this!

(same for apa6)

no reason beyond that it's not been done and i's a fair amount of work - but feel free to have a go.

Gracile

ok! thanks

(I did it for Vancouver - you may be able to use that as a template).

I remember looking into localizing date formats in APA, but there was a problem with disambiguation. Because the year-suffix needs to be appended after the year (e.g. "2002a, November 3"), the date is broken up in two cs:date elements, with a cs:text in the middle for the "year-suffix" variable.

adamsmith

all Chicago styles now have localized dates. We're working on a solution that will make that work for APA, too.

Well done!
