Hi Tobias (and Hans),
I've played with this a bit.
It seems that the nested group breaks things inside the \installlanguage macro.
The following works OK:
\c!date={\v!year,\cnyear,\v!month,\v!day,\cnday}
...but I can't use the \cnencoding switch... [Is it really necessary here? It works for me even without it...]
Another minor issues:
1. \v!month gives chinese number with the month symbol [so appending \cnmonth once more is undesired].
I guess the resulting date is a bit inconsistent - there should be all Arabic numbers or all Chinese, not mixed.
2. \v!day give the day number with a leading space which is obviously undesired in Chinese...
Hans, could you please take a look at this? (not a priority)...
Thanks,
Richard

I somehow failed to to get the following working; I'm actually too tired
(3 a.m) to follow the macro expansion in
- \c!date={\v!month,\ ,\v!day,{,\ },\v!year},
+
\c!date={\v!year,{\cnencoding\cnyear},\v!month,{\cnencoding\cnmonth},\v!year,{\cnencoding\cnday}},
In any case the year/month/day characters in unicode/gbk/big5 are:
