Date containing only numbers

English and French

The Translation Bureau recommends that a date containing only numbers be written in the following order:

  • year-month-day
    • 2008-03-04 represents March 4, 2008
    • 2008-04-03 represents April 3, 2008

Note: Use a hyphen to separate the elements of the date.

Date containing words and numbers

English

The Translation Bureau recommends that a date containing words and numbers be written in the following order:

  • month-day-year
    • January 2, 2008 (not 2 January 2008)

French

Since there is only one order in which a date containing words and numbers can be written (day-month-year), a recommendation is not required.

  • le 2 janvier 2008.

For a breakdown of the rules for writing the date in French, see our Linguistic Reminder Date : règles d'écriture (in French only).
