Magento date format issue in Arabic store on customer account page

Question

On customer account page /customer/account/

in English store view date is coming in correct format like 7/11/2013

but when i switch to arabic store view its displaying in wrong format like 72013/11/

It is calling this function:

$this->formatDate($_order->getCreatedAtStoreDate())

Answer 1

After searching a lot i found a solution...

In this file

lib\Zend\Locale\Data\ar.xml

there is tag

<dateFormats>
 ....
<dateFormatLength type="short">
   <dateFormat>
       <pattern>d‏/M‏/yyyy</pattern>
   </dateFormat>
</dateFormatLength>

It had some spaces in pattern tag so i removed those spaces.. and bingo!! it worked!!
