Enhancement: International Date Formatting #838
Comments
|
I am using the current release candidate v0.11.1-rc1 and I see it like 15.2.2017 as it is typical in Germany. Are you sure, this does not depend on the client? Or maybe a language setting? |

@sonntagd Interesting. The screenshot above was taken from the Wekan version currently running on Sandstorm.io and the language is set to English (I don't think there's an option for UK/US/Australian English variants). I've also just installed Wekan on cloudron.io, where yesterday they updated to v0.11.1-rc1 (after I asked them nicely), again with English langauge and the date is still in mm/dd/yyyy format. If I change the language setting within Wekan to Deutsch, I do see dates in dd.m.yyyy format as you do. Therefore, I do think defaulting to the ISO data format of yyyy-mm-dd would be a good idea. |

Hi all, I also get the mm/dd/yyyy format running v0.11.1-rc1 in Docker. Of course it changes when I switch to a different language, but not everyone using the the app in English are comfortable with the US date format. It would be nice to use the ISO yyyy-mm-dd format when formatting dates in English. Maybe an en-US format could be added to the language list for users who want to use the mm/dd/yyyy format. |

I have the same issue |

+1 👍 |

@sonntagd Wekan 0.18. Release version. Manual install. |
|
We are testing release v0.23 and datetime format is not changing even if I switch to another language. It would be great if admin could setup custom datetime format that will be used by, lets say, |
|
I think this can be sorted by creating a new language EN_GB. I have requested it in transifex. If the project owners can approve it then I can do the necessary "translation" quickly |
|
I have merged EN_GB, you can test it for example at Docker: Does it work for you now? |
|
This seems to work for me, so en-GB is DD/MM/YYYY and en-US is MM/DD/YYYY. Date format is language and country specific. Request new language in transifex if some is missing. |
|
Works for me too. Page Refresh necessary to change dates formats after you chaneg languages |
|
We just had a problem, where I created a board and my profile was german, while my colleagues language was set on English: when she tried to add a date it didn't work. When she switched to german, everything worked fine. |
|
I tried, and these did work for me in different English time formats. English English (UK) Did you get any error messages? Or how it did not work? |
|
I tried to recreate but I can't: it was a new account from my colleague, which she started in english. The board and my profile where german. She tried to add dates and got error messages (I remember: date format not correct). As soon she switched language once to german, everything worked fine. |
|
Thanks for the great work here and with the project in general. We love the application and start to use it extensively in different local and international contexts. The ISO date format YYYY-MM-DD would be most appropriate in many cases for us. I am not sure what would be the best way to express the need for that. Please give me some advice on how to request that. |

Hit that when coming back to Wekan after some while :( |
The Due and Start Date on card is currently in mm/dd/yyyy format. This is not always internationally appropriate.
Either allow dates to be formatted in different styles, e.g. dd/mm/yyyy or set the date display by default to the internationally recognised ISO date format, yyyy-mm-dd
