Comment (by barryceelen):

 @ocean90 Cool, seems to work as expected!

 I guess it is somewhat unfortunate that it is not possible to use ordinals
 S (st, nd, rd) as that is not supported by the jQuery UI date format.
 Plugin developers can set their own format and/or callback on insert to
 provide that kind of stuff so I'm not sure if that is an issue in the
 context of this ticket.

 Perhaps the function doc should point out the fact that a one-to-one
 mapping is not possible, or is it expected from devs to have this figured
 out already?

 @zodiac1978 The `d. MM yy` (j. F Y) german date format comes from the
 german translation files (and appears to be an accepted date standard
 according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country).
