"With Mac OS X version 10.4 and later, NSDateFormatter has two modes
of operation (or behaviors). By default, instances of NSDateFormatter
have the same behavior as they did on Mac OS X versions 10.0 to 10.3.
You can, however, configure instances (or set a default for all
instances) to adopt a new behavior implemented for Mac OS X version
10.4. See Data Formatting for a full description of the old and new
behaviors.
"If you initialize a formatter instance using -
initWithDateFormat:allowNaturalLanguage:, you are (for backwards
compatibility reasons) creating an “old-style” date formatter."
[...]
setLocale:
Sets the locale of the receiver.
- (void)setLocale:(NSLocale *)locale
Discussion
The locale is set to locale.

"The new methods in 10.4 do not do anything when invoked on a 10.0-
style formatter, and return a generic return value when required to
return something—you should therefore not invoke the new methods on a
10.0-style formatter. On a 10.4-style formatter, the old methods map
approximately to one or more new methods or attributes, but you
should use the new methods directly when possible."
