Current date in Indonesia or ..

Question

When I am asking the "current date in Indonesia", but without using the preposition "in", so there will be just noun and adjective. So which one is the right one ? Are there any differences in meaning ?

Current Indonesia date
Indonesia current date

Thanks.

Are there any differences in meaning ? No.

But it's understood right ? I am trying to choose One formal form to represent a meaning out of many sentence structures.
Also in terms of logic,
current(indonesia_date). ,maybe right
current(indonesia)_date , wrong

that means indonesia_date must be in the scope of "current", right ?

Thank you.

Hi,

Consider the example without involving the adjective 'current'.

What is the date in Indonesia? This is the common, 'normal' way of asking the question.

I might say it in a context like this. 'If it's July 26th. here in Canada, what's the date in Indonesia?'

What is the Indonesia date? This is not common or 'normal'. It's the sort of thing you might say in a scenario like this.

I'm in Canada, and I've planned a series of meetings in different countries. I say to my assistant, 'I know we will be in China on the 17th. of August, but I can't rememeber when we will be in Indonesia. What's the Indonesia date?'

Best wishes, Clive
