New description:
Based on the way date are represented in Algeria, the actual
`SHORT_DATE_FORMAT` is `'d/m/Y'` but the correct format is `'j F Y'`.
The actual locale `ar-DZ` formats are also missing (pull request pending):
{{{
SHORT_DATE_FORMAT = 'j F Y'
SHORT_DATETIME_FORMAT = 'j F Y H:i'
DATE_INPUT_FORMATS = [
'%Y/%m/%d', # '2006/10/25'
]
TIME_INPUT_FORMATS = [
'%H:%M', # '14:30
'%H:%M:%S', # '14:30:59'
]
DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS = [
'%Y/%m/%d %H:%M', # '2006/10/25 14:30'
'%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S', # '2006/10/25 14:30:59'
]
NUMBER_GROUPING = 3
}}}
-----------
The actual Date format are not the exact representation of a dates in the
country.
-----------
Even if most RTL other countries are using or still using `'d/m/Y '`,
Algeria is not. For every date on any resource (News, Official
communications, News paper) that using Arabic as a language, the Date
format is `'j F Y'`.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algeria The Wikipedia] describes the French
language in Algeria (`fr-DZ`) LTR, not the Arabic (`ar-DZ`) that we are
talking about here.
Abbreviations of months don't exist in Algerian Arabic that's why we need
to use `N` in short formats instead of `F`.
