- Note that in Swedish, there is no way to distinguish the century from its first decade. 1400-talet could refer to both. It is possible in Swedish to write "15:e århundradet", similar to Danish or English, but that is not very common.

[edit] Notes
[edit] 中文 (Chinese)
Chinese does not give months, days of the week, or years special names. Rather, Chinese merely uses the number. The Chinese date format always starting with the year. For example, "July 31st, 2004", in Chinese is:
- 二〇〇四年七月三十一日 or 2004年7月31日
- (literally, "Two zero zero four year seven month thirty-one day" or "2004 year 7 month 31 day")
For the Chinese, the day of week is not usually included in the article. Similarly, "Saturday," the sixth day of the week, is:
- 星期六
- (literally, "week six")
The exception is "Sunday," which in Chinese is 星期日(literally, "week day"). And in days of week, Arabic numerals should not be used.
Also, BCE (BC) is 公元前 in Chinese, and ACE (AD) is 公元. For example, "220 BC", in Chinese is:
- 公元前二二〇年 or 公元前220年
[edit] French
When using roman number, we use er for first, then e:
- Ier (1st)
- IIe (2nd)
- IIIe (3rd)
- IVe (4th)
- Ve (5th)
- ...
[edit] Cymraeg (Welsh)
When writing dates we append a suffix to the day number which is used to change the cardinal number to an ordinal:
- 1af (cyntaf - 1st)
- 2il (ail - 2nd)
- 3ydd (trydydd - 3rd)
- 4ydd (pedwerydd - 4th)
- 5ed (pumed - 5th)
- 6fed - 20fed (chweched (6th) - ugainfed (20th))
- 21ain (unfed ar hugain - first on twenty (21st))
- 31ain (un ar ddegfed ar hugain - one and tenth on twenty (31st))
[edit] Tiếng Việt (Vietnamese)
Vietnamese does not give months, days of the week, or years special names. Rather, Vietnamese merely uses the number. For example, "July 31st, 2004", for the purposes of the Vietnamese wikis, is:
- 31 tháng 7 năm 2004 or 31 tháng 7, 2004
Normally, however, it would be written:
- ngày 31 tháng 7 năm 2004 or hôm 31 tháng 7 năm 2004
- (literally, "day 31 of month 7")
For the Vietnamese wikis, the "day" is usually included in the article, but is not part of the page title or link. Similarly, "Saturday," the seventh day of the week, is:
- thứ 7
- (literally, "the seventh one")
The exception is "Sunday," which in Vietnamese is Chủ nhật.
Also, BCE (BC) is TCN in Vietnamese, and CE (AD) is CN.
[edit] Greek
When writing centuries (=male noun in greek) we append the suffix "-ος" to the century number which is used to change the cardinal number to an ordinal. When the number is 20 or 30 or 40 etc we append the suffix "-ός":
- 1ος (πρώτος - 1st) (for male)
- 2ος (δεύτερος - 2nd) (for male)
- 3ος (τρίτος - 3rd) (for male)
- 4ος (τέταρτος - 4th) (for male)
- 5ος (πέμπτος - 5th) (for male)
- 6ος (έκτος - 6th) (for male)
- 20ός (εικοστός - 20th) (for male)
- 21ος (εικοστός πρώτος - 21th) (for male)
- 22ος (εικοστός δεύτερος - 22th) (for male)
- 30ός (τριακοστός - 30th) (for male)
- 40ός (τεσσαρακοστός - 40th) (for male)
- ...
When writing millenniums (=female noun in greek) we append the suffix "-η" to the millennium number which is used to change the cardinal number to an ordinal. When the number is 20 or 30 or 40 etc we append the suffix "-ή":
- 1η (πρώτη - 1st) (for female)
- 2η (δεύτερη - 2nd) (for female)
- 3η (τρίτη - 3rd) (for female)
- 4η (τέταρτη - 4th) (for female)
- 5η (πέμπτη - 5th) (for female)
- 6η (έκτη - 6th) (for female)
- 20ή (εικοστή - 20th) (for female)
- 21η (εικοστή πρώτη - 21th) (for female)
- 22η (εικοστή δεύτερη - 22th) (for female)
- 30ή (τριακοστή - 30th) (for female)
- 40ή (τεσσαρακοστή - 40th) (for female)
- ...
When writing number of the day we append the suffix "-η" only to the first number, i.e. 1η.
- 1η Ιανουαρίου, but 2 Ιανουαρίου, 3 Ιανουαρίου...
- 1η Φεβρουαρίου, but 2 Φεβρουαρίου, 3 Φεβρουαρίου...
- 1η Μαρτίου, but 2 Μαρτίου, 3 Μαρτίου...
- ...
Also, BCE (BC) is π.Χ. in Greek, and ACE (AD) is μ.Χ..
[edit] Scripts
Here is a script in Perl to generate automatically the years. It's for French, but with some changes, it could be used for other languages. And it generates also the links to pages in other languages.
It generates all years from 1 to 2099, and all decades from 100 to 2000. And links for decades in Dutch are difficult. So it's far from perfect. ;o) Yann 08:52 Feb 17, 2003 (UTC)

Here is another script in Perl to generate links for days of the year to other languages. It's for French too, but with very little changes, it can be used for other languages too. Yann 08:52 Feb 17, 2003 (UTC)

Note that en:ISO 8601 Formatted Dates conform to an international standard and are therefore usable in all languages. The ISO equivalents here are given on the basis that centuries, millennia, etc. start at the beginning of year one.
