Describe the bug
The date string at the bottom of the absolute tab changes with respect to a locale such as ja-JP. However, the date string fails to pass validation unless rewriting it in the en locale.
Here is a GIF animation showing the validation failure on Kibana 8.12.2 with i18n.locale: ja-JP. Both 3月 and 4月 are valid MMM in Japanese, but EuiSuperDatePicker accepts neither. It accepts only MMM in English, such as Apr.

Impact and severity
The impact is probably limited because only non-English locales make this observable. The workaround is to rewrite the date string in English manually.
Environment and versions
- EUI version: 94.1.0 (main branch)
- React version: 18.2.0
- Kibana version: at least 8.11.0+
- Browser: Chrome Version 123.0.6312.124 (Official Build) (64-bit)
- Operating System: Windows 11 10.0.22621 N/A Build 22621
To Reproduce
<EuiSuperDatePicker
start="now-1h"
end="now-15m"
locale="ja-JP"
dateFormat="MMM D, YYYY @ HH:mm:ss.SSS"
onTimeChange={onTimeChange}
/>
With the EuiSuperDatePicker above,
- Show the absolute tab.
- Change the year 2024 to e.g. 2023.
- Hit Enter.
Expected behavior
It should hide the following message.
Allowed formats: MMM D, YYYY @ HH:mm:ss.SSS, ISO 8601, RFC 2822, or Unix timestamp.
Additional context
I will open a PR shortly.
