Node only supports English by default

See original GitHub issue

Test code:

let formatMessage = require("format-message")
formatMessage("{d, date, long}", {d: new Date()}, "ru-RU")

Expected Result: 25 июня 2017 г. Actual Result (Node v8.0): 2017 M06 25

On Node v7.9.0 it gives wrong result too (but at least month is printed (in other language ofc)): June 25, 2017

Moment works fine meanwhile

> moment().locale('ru-RU').format('LL')
< '25 июня 2017 г.'

Seems it’s nodejs problem, so may be use external library for a time?

but node should detect this package after I copied this file!

The message is a bug on full-icu’s side: autodetection has not been implemented in Node.js. See https://github.com/unicode-org/full-icu-npm/issues/6 and my PR to help clarify that: https://github.com/unicode-org/full-icu-npm/pull/15.

Sorry about the confusion! I was fairly confused as well when I first used the full-icu package 😄

It sounds like all that needs to be done here is to document that node internationalization support requires special steps depending on the locales you want to use.

Would a note and a link to https://nodejs.org/api/intl.html be sufficient for this?
