I'd like a localized <r:date /> output for a bilingual English/ 
Japanese website eg 2nd March 2008 on an English page but 2008年5 
月2日 on a Japanese page. This would typically be done via  
locale, but I think Mohit's config option will change the date  
formatting for every instance. Does anyone know how I'd achieve this,  
say based on a "lang" page part or url regexp match? Would I need to  
make a custom date tag that accepts locale as an attribute somehow?

Thanks in advance.

peace - oli
