# Description Previously, to make the date range understood by all, we used the format "2006-01-02" for the dates as it's locale-generic. This commit changes the rendering logic. Instead of rendering the date on the server, we send a formatted computer-readable timestamp. The client's javascript then renders it according to the user's locale. This approach is reusable across the codebase, any `<time></time>` tag with the data-format="date" attribute would get rendered according to the user's chosen locale. ## Previous View ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/20454870/195099143-e1c5df86-282a-42f1-898f-a36bb5fe7c2f.png) ## New View ### English ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/20454870/195099301-5cda4eab-4012-49d5-97e5-b1f9cada9c06.png) ### French ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/20454870/195099434-ce23e394-8d65-4c4c-8ac8-8b96bc9044f3.png) ### Portuguese ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/20454870/195099559-9a7aed28-944a-45ec-bedb-64403e3faede.png) ### Italian ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/20454870/195099661-17758d55-3fe0-4797-879b-d45de0ee8ba3.png) # References * #21380 * #21387 * #21396 Inspiration: I think either differentiating by class, or probably better by a custom attribute such as `data-format` or similar, is the best course of action. _Originally posted by @delvh in https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/21396#issuecomment-1274424788_ Resolves #21380 Signed-off-by: Yarden Shoham <hrsi88@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: silverwind <me@silverwind.io>
