Frequently asked questions

How far back or forward can it go?
Anywhere your browser's Date can represent — roughly ±271,820 years from 1970.
Is it accurate for historical dates?
It uses the proleptic Gregorian calendar, so dates before the Gregorian switchover (1582 in Catholic countries, later elsewhere) won't match local historical calendars.
Why these four languages?
We picked widely-spoken languages with distinct weekday names; you can copy-and-paste the date into any locale-aware tool for others.
