In case you need more reasons to dislike American date format, machine translation pretty much throws a coin when deciding how to interpret AA/BB/YYYY dates. When writing dates numerically, *always* use YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY/MM/DD formats. More at mina86.com/2026/on-a11y...

I recommend trying it out for oneself in DeepL, Google Translate or others. The most amusing is interpretation of dates changing based on how different dates are written. For example, in the text on the screenshot, changing ‘04/03/2026’ to ‘4/03/2026’ affects how DeepL understands ‘11/03/2026’.
