Update 2012-08-31T23:08+0200 : Editable Date Acceptance Patterns in LibreOffice
As explained in an earlier article a new feature will be available with LibreOffice 3.6 that limits date recognition of input to predefined locale dependent patterns to prevent erroneous detection of dates. To be able to input incomplete dates a locale needs date acceptance patterns defined in its locale data, quite a lot submissions of such patterns have already been included, but many locales do not have any pattern assigned yet. For these locales date input will only be possible as a complete date, no incomplete dates will be accepted. Maybe your locale should be enabled for incomplete date input but isn't yet? Then please submit the pattern(s), either as a comment to this blog post, or on the LibreOffice l10n mailing list if you are involved with LibO localization anyway, or simply mail me.

If some of the entries seem to be duplicates within a locale and include spaces, that's because they are defined both with normal space and with breaking space to accommodate both input variants.
