SwapDate

Changes date format from US to International or from international to US.
Acceptable date input can be in short format with either a two or four digit year: mm/dd/yy, mm/dd/yyyy, dd/mm/yy, dd/mm/yyyy.
Worded dates are also acceptable as input: January 4, 2000 is changed to 4 January, 2000 and vice versa. 23rd August, 2000 would be changed to August 23rd, 2000.
