Possible bug with \date in french

Possible bug with \date in french

[Romain Diss]

Hi,

Since a recent upgrade of the beta the \date command give "day+ octobre 2011" 
if \mainlanguage[fr] is set. Minimal example:

\mainlanguage[fr]
\starttext
    \date
    \language[en]
    (\date)
\stoptext

A rapid search lead me to these lines (560-571) in "lang-def.mkiv":
\installlanguage
  [\s!fr]
  [\c!spacing=\v!packed,
  (...)
  \c!date={\v!day+,\v!space,\v!month,\v!space,\v!year}]

where the "day+" appears. Several lines further (line 670), one found:
\defineconversion [\s!fr] [\v!day+] [\frordinaldaynumber]

but I have not find any file defining "\frordinaldaynumber" (except "lang-
ita.mkii" for MKII). Is there something to fix in the beta or is there 
something I missed ?

Thank you in advance.

I had :
\setuplanguage [fr] [date={day:mnem,space,month,space,year}]
to the minimal exemple and it prints "10 mai 2011".

Don’t know if it is exactly what you meant I should test but it seems to 
work...

day+ was a shortcut for day:mnem (or actually it was there before we had 
:mnem) but in mkiv that shortcut is gone
