We have a full Terran date from the Star Trek: The Experience communique:
tera' poH jaj wa', jar wa', jaj loSDIch, DIS wa'-Hut-Hut-chorgh: HovpoHvetlh latlh nab yIHutlh
Save this Stardate: Sunday, January 4, 1998.
I would have just used the numerals "1998" in the text. { wa'-Hut-Hut-chorgh} is presumably how the date is read out loud.
I know that times of day are mentioned in the TalkNow: Klingon, e.g.
five o'clock p.m. (17:00)
wa'maH Sochvatlh rep
but are dates and days of the week discussed there?
