This bug has persisted for over 8 years:
English: `SHORT_DATE_FORMAT = "m/d/Y"`
In French, it should be: `SHORT_DATE_FORMAT = "d/m/Y"`
However, it's currently set to: `SHORT_DATE_FORMAT = "j N Y"`
This results in an incorrect translation:
For English: "`08/18/2023`" should translate to "`18/08/2023`" for a
"short" format.
But as it stands now:
English: "`08/18/2023`" translates to "`18 août 2023`", which is not an
expected short date format.
As a workaround, we're using Babel, which returns the correct short
version = "`d/m/Y`":
{{{
#!python
from datetime import date
from babel.dates import format_date
from django.utils.translation import get_language
formatted_date = format_date(date.today(), "short",
locale=get_language())`
}}}
