Description:
------------
Hello

When you write well formated date in english you write :
the 29th of august 2004

The problem get more complicated with the first or the second :
in english : The 1st of august 2004
in french : Le 1er Août 2004

Is it possible to get the ordinal suffix for the I18Nv2_DATETIME_LONG ?
(Like the patch for : en I18Nv2_DATETIME_FULL)

Reproduce code:
---------------
include_once 'I18Nv2.php';
$oLc = &I18Nv2::createLocale(LANG);
$oLc->formatDate(strtotime(), I18Nv2_DATETIME_LONG);

Expected result:
----------------
20th of September 2004

Actual result:
--------------
20 September 2004

I18Nv2_DATETIME_FULL => '%H:%M o\'clock %Z'
The use of o'clock is usefull only in english

I agree with you.
It's also easy to add "of" in the date the 29th of August 2004.

But it's more professionnal to get the ordinal suffix in long date. Isn't it ?

No problem.
Do you have an UML model of the classes or some more documentation ?
I'will try to do it myself.

Thanks for your quickness.
