Proper Russian month string translation Java

Question

I want to convert a Date in to Russian and using the code below

SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(SimpleDateFormat.LONG,locale).format(date);

<

Answer 1

AFAIK, there's no support for localisation in accusative case in the JDK. I would suggest to use the MEDIUM date format to work around that if it's suitable: 15 Фев 1999

Failing that you may end up having to provide your own localisations for month names.
