date_names

Create or retrieve date names

Description

When parsing dates, you often need to know how weekdays of the week and months are represented as text. This pair of functions allows you to either create your own, or retrieve from a standard list. The standard list is derived from ICU (http://site.icu-project.org) via the stringi package.

Usage

date_names(mon, mon_ab = mon, day, day_ab = day, am_pm = c("AM", "PM"))

date_names_lang(language)

date_names_langs()

Arguments

`mon, mon_ab`	Full and abbreviated month names.
`day, day_ab`	Full and abbreviated week day names. Starts with Sunday.
`am_pm`	Names used for AM and PM.
`language`	A BCP 47 locale, made up of a language and a region, e.g. `"en_US"` for American English. See `date_names_langs()` for a complete list of available locales.

Examples

date_names_lang("en")
date_names_lang("ko")
