Hi,
I noticed one thing when having a look at the Swedish translation of coreutils.

>#: src/date.c:196
>msgid ""
>"  %F   full date; like %+4Y-%m-%d\n"


This doesn't give the expected result when I try it in coreutils 8.30 in Debian testing:

>date +%F
2020-05-23
>date +%+4Y-%m-%d
%+4Y-05-23


If the "%" and the "+" change places in the string above we get the expected result:

>date +%4Y-%m-%d
2020-05-23


My suggestion would thus be to change the character order so the string becomes "  %F   full date; like +%4Y-%m-%d\n"


Regards,
Anders Jonsson
