What you call the English date format actually is the
[[ISO 8601]] date
format and as such it is the official (preferred?) date format in
Germany and in many other European countries. For more info see
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html
I was not referring to the standard date format, but to information like
"before 300" or "early 19th century", which was translated from German
into English.
