Description
Following discussions in the Slack channel, the English language covers many countries with differing variants of local date and time.
For example:
"en" "Sat, 5/17, 6:50 PM"
"en-GB" "Sat 17/05, 18:50"
"en-US" "Sat, 5/17, 6:50 PM"
"12h en" "Sat, 5/17, 6:50 PM"
"12h en-GB" "Sat 17/05, 6:50 pm"
"12h en-US" "Sat, 5/17, 6:50 PM"
"24h en" "Sat, 5/17, 18:50"
"24h en-GB" "Sat 17/05, 18:50"
"24h en-US" "Sat, 5/17, 18:50"
Notably USA and Canada have dates as MM-DD-YY(YY) whereas everywhere else in English speaking world it is DD-MM-YY(YY) or YYYY-MM-DD
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_date_formats_by_country
Because of the many differences of date and time conventions across the English-speaking world, it would make sense to have separate settings when "English" is selected to have the option to manually choose
- Time Format 12h/24h
- Date Format. i.e. mm-dd-yyyy, dd-mm-yyyy or yyyy-mm-dd
This is especially important with the English language setting since it is often used as a de facto option by many people when a local language locale isn't available.
Hope this makes sense and reflects the conversation in Slack.
