Hi,

How can I get formatDate() to output the date in a different language? I saw this solution:

> us Hello, I am currently retrieving a date in the following format: “23 11:30 2024 اغسطس”. I would like to transform it into “23/08/2024”. Could you please advise me on how to make this conversion using Make? Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards, Bonjour, Je récupère actuellement une date au format suivant : “23 11:30 2024 اغسطس”. Je souhaiterais la transformer en “23/08/2024”. Pourriez-vous m’indiquer comment effectuer cette transformation en utilisant Make ? Merci d’ava…

Which requires calling an LLM to do translation. That hardly seems efficient. Is there another way? Or do I have to build date tables for all the languages I want to support and use that?
