Date and time are formatted according to the different conventions all around the world. Locale-specific date and date/time formats are specified by date and time pattern strings. The following tables provide information on the patterns which are recognized as date or date/time data in Talend Data Preparation.

According to the locale of your Java installation, the validation results may be different when using patterns which have a weekday and a month name. Talend Data Preparation first validates dates and times using the en_US locale and then, using the default locale of the Java installation of the server.

For example, if the Java Virtual Machine locale is set to French, "22. March 1999” and "22. mars 1999” will be valid dates but not "22. März 1999”, even though d. MMMM yyyy is originally a German pattern.
