Morning and afternoon time may be designated by the following sets of words: du matin du soir Each or every There are a list of words that specify every occurrence of something.

In English, for example, you might say: IN 5 days 5 days AGO The following words may be used to specify deltas that refer to dates in the past or future respectively: il y a auparavant dans le passe plus tot plus tot en plus tard dans l'avenir a venir a venir dans Business mode This contains two lists of words which can be used to specify a standard (i.e. non-business) delta or a business delta. Previously, it was used to tell whether the delta was approximate or exact, but now this list is not used except to force the delta to be standard. The following words may be used: exactement approximativement environ The following words may be used to specify a business delta: professionel ouvrable ouvrables Numbers Numbers may be spelled out in a variety of ways. The following sets correspond to the numbers from 1 to 53: 1er 1re premier un 2e deux deuxieme deuxieme 3e trois troisieme troisieme 4e quatre quatrieme quatrieme 5e cinq cinquieme cinquieme 6e six sixieme sixieme 7e sept septieme septieme 8e huit huitieme huitieme 9e neuf neuvieme neuvieme 10e dix dixieme dixieme 11e onze onzieme onzieme 12e douze douzieme douzieme 13e treize treizieme treizieme 14e quatorze quatorzieme quatorzieme 15e quinze quinzieme quinzieme 16e seize seizieme seizieme 17e dix-sept dix-septieme dix-septieme 18e dix-huit dix-huitieme dix-huitieme 19e dix-neuf dix-neuvieme dix-neuvieme 20e vingt vingtieme vingtieme 21e vingt et un vingt et unieme vingt et unieme 22e vingt-deux vingt-deuxieme vingt-deuxieme 23e vingt-trois vingt-troisieme vingt-troisieme 24e vingt-quatre vingt-quatrieme vingt-quatrieme 25e vingt-cinq vingt-cinquieme vingt-cinquieme 26e vingt-six vingt-sixieme vingt-sixieme 27e vingt-sept vingt-septieme vingt-septieme 28e vingt-huit vingt-huitieme vingt-huitieme 29e vingt-neuf vingt-neuvieme vingt-neuvieme 30e trente trentieme trentieme 31e trente et un trente et unieme trente et unieme 32e trente-deux trente-deuxieme trente-deuxieme 33e trente-trois trente-troisieme trente-troisieme 34e trente-quatre trente-quatrieme trente-quatrieme 35e trente-cinq trente-cinquieme trente-cinquieme 36e trente-six trente-sixieme trente-sixieme 37e trente-sept trente-septieme trente-septieme 38e trente-huit trente-huitieme trente-huitieme 39e trente-neuf trente-neuvieme trente-neuvieme 40e quarante quarantieme quarantieme 41e quarante et un quarante et unieme quarante et unieme 42e quarante-deux quarante-deuxieme quarante-deuxieme 43e quarante-trois quarante-troisieme quarante-troisieme 44e quarante-quatre quarante-quatrieme quarante-quatrieme 45e quarante-cinq quarante-cinquieme quarante-cinquieme 46e quarante-six quarante-sixieme quarante-sixieme 47e quarante-sept quarante-septieme quarante-septieme 48e quarante-huit quarante-huitieme quarante-huitieme 49e quarante-neuf quarante-neuvieme quarante-neuvieme 50e cinquante cinquantieme cinquantieme 51e cinquante et un cinquante et unieme cinquante et unieme 52e cinquante-deux cinquante-deuxieme cinquante-deuxieme 53e cinquante-trois cinquante-troisieme cinquante-troisieme Ignored words In writing out dates in common forms, there are a number of words that are typically not important. There is frequently a word that appears in a phrase to designate that a time is going to be specified next. In English, you would use the word AT in the example: December 3 at 12:00 The following words may be used: a a Another word is used to designate one member of a set. In English, you would use the words IN or OF: 1st day OF December 1st day IN December The following words may be used: de en du Another word is use to specify that something is on a certain date. In English, you would use ON: ON July 5th The following words may be used: sur Words that set the date, time, or both There are some words that can be used to specify a date, a time, or both relative to now. Words that set the date are similar to the English words 'yesterday' or 'tomorrow'. These are specified as a delta which is added to the current time to get a date. The time is NOT set however, so the delta is only partially used (it should only include year, month, week, and day fields). The following words may be used: aujourd'hui 0:0:0:0:0:0:0 aujourd'hui 0:0:0:0:0:0:0 demain +0:0:0:1:0:0:0 hier -0:0:0:1:0:0:0 Words that set only the time of day are similar to the English words 'noon' or 'midnight'. The following words may be used: midi 12:00:00 minuit 00:00:00 Words that set the entire time and date (relative to the current time and date) are also available. In English, the word 'now' is one of these. The following words may be used: maintenant 0:0:0:0:0:0:0 Hour/Minute/Second separators When specifying the time of day, the most common separator is a colon (:) which can be used for both separators. Some languages use different pairs. For example, French allows you to specify the time as 13h30:20, so it would use the following pairs: : : h : The first column is the hour-minute separator and the second column is the minute-second separator. Both are perl regular expressions. When creating a new translation, be aware that regular expressions with utf-8 characters may be tricky. For example, don't include the expression '[x]' where 'x' is a utf-8 character. A pair of colons is ALWAYS allowed for all languages. If a language allows additional pairs, they are listed here: h : Fractional second separator When specifying fractional seconds, the most common way is to use a decimal point (.). Some languages may specify a different separator that might be used. If this is done, it is a regular expression. The decimal point is ALWAYS allowed for all languages. If a language allows another separator, it is listed here: Not defined in this language KNOWN BUGS None known.
