Subject: bug#41480: Chars out of order in date.c string

Hi,
I noticed one thing when having a look at the Swedish translation of 
coreutils.

 >#: src/date.c:196
 >msgid ""
 >"  %F   full date; like %+4Y-%m-%d\n"

This doesn't give the expected result when I try it in coreutils 8.30 in 
Debian testing:

 >date +%F
2020-05-23
 >date +%+4Y-%m-%d
%+4Y-05-23

If the "%" and the "+" change places in the string above we get the 
expected result:

 >date +%4Y-%m-%d
2020-05-23

My suggestion would thus be to change the character order so the string 
becomes "  %F   full date; like +%4Y-%m-%d\n"
