I assume we are talking about
<w:r>
  <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="begin"/>
</w:r>
<w:r>
  <w:instrText xml:space="preserve"> DATE \@ "dddd d MMMM yyyy" \* MERGEFORMAT
  </w:instrText>
</w:r>
<w:r>
  <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="separate"/>
</w:r>
<w:r w:rsidR="00B124D3">
  <w:rPr>
    <w:noProof/>
  </w:rPr>
  <w:t>dinsdag 15 maart 2016</w:t>
</w:r>
<w:r>
  <w:fldChar w:fldCharType="end"/>
</w:r>

So, if you don't know about date fields (and LO 3.5 already does know), then
you will just display the string of text (which is neither a date, nor Dutch,
but just a string of characters) and it will be "perfect".

So this looks like an enhancement request. In LO, the field has a language
setting attached to it, instead of just pulling the language from the paragraph
character properties. So the importer probably has to be smart enough to find
the current language setting and apply it to the imported date field.
