Rules for Transcribing Dates
The following are general guidelines for transcribing dates, both when used to refer to specific calendar dates (i.e. 25.06.2018), and when counting dates as units (i.e. "it has been 20 years", "2 months until the deadline", "I leave in 17 days").
-- "Full" Dates
If a "full" date is given without Arabic numerals, transcribe the kanji in full.

|---|---|---|
| 二〇一六年十二月十一日 | RF can you help: 2016ねん12がつ11にち | nisen juuroku-nen juunigatsu juuichinichi |
| 二〇一六年十二月 | TBD | nisen juuroku-nen juunigatsu |
| 十二月十一日 | TBD | juunigatsu juuichinichi |
If a "full" date is given with Arabic numerals, leave the numerals in the transcription.

| 2016年12月 | 2016ねん12がつ | 2016-nen 12-gatsu |
| 12月11日 | 4がつ11にち | 12-gatsu 11-nichi |
-- Year (Counter: 年, -nen)
This policy does not apply to the 年 (nen, year) counter, when being used as a date. For dates regarding specific calendar years, such as "2016年" meaning "the calendar year 2016", transcribe as "2016-nen". If given in kanji, such as "二〇一六年", transcribe in full as "nisen juuroku-nen".
If 年 is being used to count the number of years as a counter object, ie 12年 as in "twelve years", transcribe in full: juuninen.
-- Month (Counter: 月, -gatsu)
The 12 months of the year are considered dictionary terms, always transcribe in full. Similar to how the months in English are named January through December, the Japanese months are named 一月/1月 through 十二月/12月. When used to refer to the month, transcribe in full, such as ichigatsu and juunigatsu.
If 月 is being used to count the number of months as a counter object, ie 12ヶ月 as in "twelve months", transcribe in full: juunikagetsu.

-- Day (Counter: 日, -nichi)
This policy does not apply to the 日 (nichi, day) counter, when being used as a date. For dates regarding specific calendar days, such as "11日" meaning "the calendar date of the 11th", transcribe as "11-nichi". If given in kanji, such as "十一日", transcribe in full as "juuichinichi".
If 日 is being used to count the number of days as a counter object, ie 11日 as in "eleven days", transcribe in full: juuichinichi.
However, 1st to 10th, 14th, 20th, and 24th, are irregular.
