Date declaration in datenumber

Question

In the following MWE, \today prints the date in British format, e.g. 14th January 2013. However, \datedate prints the date as January 28, 2013. I wonder how the latter can be changed to the former.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{datenumber}
\usepackage[british]{babel}

\begin{document}

\today

\setdatetoday
\addtocounter{datenumber}{14}%
\setdatebynumber{\thedatenumber}%
In 14 days is \datedate

\end{document}

Answer 1

Package datenumber knows some language options. It does not know british but english:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{datenumber}
\usepackage[british]{babel}

\begin{document}

\today

\setdatetoday
\addtocounter{datenumber}{14}%
\setdatebynumber{\thedatenumber}%
In 14 days is \datedate.

\end{document}

Answer 2

You can define your own command with the help of the engord package:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{datenumber}
\usepackage[british]{babel}
\usepackage{engord}

\engordraisefalse
\newcommand\mydatedate{%
\engord{dateday}~\datemonthname\ \thedateyear}

\begin{document}

\today

\setdatetoday
\addtocounter{datenumber}{14}%
\setdatebynumber{\thedatenumber}%
In 14 days is \datedate

In 14 days is \mydatedate

\end{document}
