Style request: American Psychological Association 6th edition Dutch
The date described in English as 'March 12 2018' is correctly described in Dutch as '12 maart 2018'. Relative to English, month and day are inverted in Dutch. However this inversion is not part of the current Dutch APA style variant.
Inversion works just fine with the Chicago Manual of Style style, for example. So the problem would appear to be with the APA style and not with the locale file for Dutch.

'oktober 23' is wrong and ought to be rendered as 23 oktober.
I'd question, though, if this is actually incorrect in Dutch -- is there an official APA version, say by the Dutch psychological association? I know the official German adaptation of APA uses (2017, Oktober 23) although regular German date form would be 2017, 23. Oktober (or 23.10.2017)
For that to be distributed officially through the CSL repository, though, we require a document with a sufficiently clear description of the authoritative version of the style (i.e., if someone reports a problem with the style, we need to be able to check a style guide.). There are countless choices to be made when translating a citation style and the only way we're not going to end up debating these through error reports/complaints is if they're codified somewhere.
A quick search for "datum" (date) shows that all examples are d M yyyy, e.g. "1 juni 2016", as bartvbeek notes.

@Rintze do you have a view of how this should be called on the repository?
