* Forms: date fields name months in the date language, not always English (#5303) `AFDate_FormatEx("dd-mmm-yy")` wrote "18-Oct-26" in an Italian interface, where a localized Acrobat writes "18-ott-26". Form date formats, `util.printd` and `util.scand` now take their month and weekday names from the date language (Preferences > Date format > Language, which follows the interface language until one is picked), and still read English names typed in. The names are process-wide, so their test runs in its own binary.

The language's names are now found whole in the text first, the longest at each place, and read as their English names; the format's order of `mmm` and `ddd` settles a shared name. Both AFDate parsing and util.scand do this, on text up to 1 KB. A test reads back every language, each name format, and hostile text.

The same held for Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Arabic, Thai and others, and for Latin names outside WinAnsi (Czech "říj"). Before, the names were English and always drew. An AFDate/AFTime field now formats its value again with English names for a widget whose fonts can't draw the localized text; a custom Format script is run again with util.printd writing English names for such a widget, and its result kept only when it draws whole. A field whose font holds the names keeps them, and scripts otherwise still print the date language.

Both AFDate parsing and util.scand lost the month, and Spanish, Romanian and Albanian ("mar") did the same. English names are now found too and fill their field of the format as localized ones do. A test reads English and mixed weekdays before the month in those languages.

The English run printed "18-Oct-26", but it was dropped for equalling the stored value, which was how a failed run was told apart: a failing script handed back the value unchanged. The English run now says whether it ran (`None` when the script failed or the runner can't write English dates), and what it made is drawn whenever it draws whole. A test reprints the stored value under Russian, and checks that a failing script keeps its text and is reported undrawn.

French writes Tuesday as "mar.", which a name search only found with its dot; since English names are found as well, the English "Mar" (March) was the only name of that length, so the weekday became a month. Romanian "mar" did the same. A short name ending in a dot is now also found typed without it, as the same kind of name, so the format's order of name fields decides between it and an equal name of the other kind. Both copies of the name search change. A test reads French and Romanian weekdays typed without their dot. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Forms: a shared name is the month when no weekday is typed (#5303) With Italian dates, "17 mar 2026" in a "ddd d mmm yyyy" field read as no date, nor did "mar 17, 2026" in "dddd, mmmm d, yyyy". AFDate leaves weekdays out of what it reads (they are shown, not typed), but the name search still expected the format's weekday first, so "mar", which Italian shares between Tuesday and March, filled it and left no month. Spanish and Albanian "mar" and Albanian "sht" (Saturday, September) did the same, and the keystroke check refused those dates. Where such a read finds no date, the names are now read again with no weekday expected, so the shared name is the month; a typed weekday still comes first ("mar 17 mar 2026"). util.scand reads its fields in order and needs the weekday, so it is unchanged. A test types those dates with the weekday left out.

Names were compared lower-cased, which turns I into i, not the dotless ı of "Mayıs" and "Salı", and İ into i with a combining dot above, which "Ekim" doesn't have. Names and typed text are now folded alike, the capital I and the dotted and dotless i all as i and the combining dot dropped, one piece for each char so positions in the text stay aligned: in both copies of the name search, the AFDate month reader and util.scand's name matcher. English reads as before. A test types Turkish names in capitals and English ones as a check. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Forms: Greek names typed in capitals are read again (#5303) Folding names char by char turned a capital Σ into σ, so "ΙΑΝΟΥΆΡΙΟΣ" no longer matched "Ιανουάριος", whose last letter is the final ς. The fold now makes ς a σ on both sides, in the forms and JS parsers alike.
