France most commonly records the date using the day-month-year order with an oblique stroke or slash (”/”) as the separator with numerical values, for example, 31/12/1992.

If the work is better known by its title in French, then French should be maintained (with redirects from the English title). Capitalization (see above § Capitalization) Usage varies in contemporary French with regards to the capitalization of words in titles, and especially to the capitalization of initial words after a definite article.
In Spanish, abbreviations of month names are usually three letters long, to avoid confusion between marzo (March) and mayo (May), and between junio (June) and julio (July). In Spain, the week runs from Monday to Sunday. The Spanish language also has an established convention for days of the week using one letter.
In Catalonia the date order is day, month, year. In most situations, the grammar and syntax rules are applied to this format: <Weekday>, <monthday> de / d' <Month> de / del <year>. For example: Dimecres, 20 d'abril de 2011 or Dijous, 5 de maig del 2005. Note that months are not capitalized.
For proper names, as for several other kinds of words and phrases, the details are complex, and vary sharply from language to language. For example, expressions for days of the week and months of the year are capitalized in English, but not in Spanish, French, Swedish, or Finnish, though they may be understood as proper names in all of these.
