Adding new entry with date only works with format m.d.Y

Bug Report

Environment

jrnl: v2.8.4
Python: 3.10.4 (main, Mar 23 2022, 20:25:24) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609]
OS: Linux 5.13.0-48-generic

Installation method: Homebrew (on Linux)

Current Behavior

Whenever I add a new entry specified with full date, it is always treated as %m.%d.%Y. As far as I have seen there is no note about this and it is not configurable as well.

Expected Behavior

Adding an entry should also work with format %d.%m.%Y, maybe by adding a new option in config.yaml

Repro Steps

See above.

Other Information

EDIT: this happens only, if the day is >=1 and <=12. If I enter 13.06.2022 as example, it works as expected.

Thanks for the bug report - this has been filed under another issue #696. I'm closing this as a duplicate, though I appreciate the extra info about the 13th+ day of the month.

To help with this bug, would you mind running locale and sharing the output? I think that reading the locale is going to be part of the solution to this and it'd be good to have a test case.
