Description

There're some hard-coded date / timestamp formatting as follows:

In _day.vm or day.vm of templates:

$utils.formatDate($day, "EEEE MMM dd, yyyy")
$utils.formatDate($entry.pubTime, "hh:mma MMM dd, yyyy")

In CalendarTag#doStartTag():

// formatter Month-Year title of calendar
SimpleDateFormat formatTitle = new SimpleDateFormat("MMMM yyyy", mLocale);

In Japanese locale, it produces following expressions:

1. 水曜日 4 22, 2015
2. Posted at 02:15午後 4 22, 2015 by kyle in Technology | 投稿されたコメント [0]
3. 4月 2015

They looks pretty weird to Japanese people. I think Japanese people prefer following expressions instead:

1. 2015年4月22日 (水)
2. Posted at 2015年4月22日 午後 02:15 (this may better to move the fragment entirely, not only the date, but it might be too much for default templates)
3. 2015年4月

And I think these strange expressions may effect badly to first impression of Japanese people who just installed Roller so give it a try. so I'd like to move these expressions to ApplicationResources so that allow templates to show locale specific expressions. any thoughts?
