Support for Hebrew/Arabic

[ColmShannon]

Hi,

I've encountered some issues using toLocaleString and am wondering if I'm missing something.

DateTime.fromISO(new Date().toISOString()).setLocale(localeLang).toLocaleString();

Using the above snippet today (29th of March) if I pass localeLang 'ar' I get '29‏/3‏/2024'

I believe the correct format should be dd/MM/yyyy. Is there something I'm overlooking?

Thanks,
Colm

Firstly, your way of constructing the DateTime is a little weird, why not use DateTime.now()?

Luxon uses Intl.DateTimeFormat for formatting, which produces exactly the same result:

const dtf = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('ar', {year: "numeric", month: "numeric", day: "numeric"});
console.log(dtf.format(new Date()));

I am not sure if this is correct, but if you think it isn't, you'll have to take this up with whatever underlying platform (browser, Node JS, etc.) you are using).

@diesieben07 thanks, I noticed the issue existed even when using Intl shortly after posting.

Ah update to as-EG seems to have done the trick:
