Date format in reputation graph should use national standards

Question

Date format for localized sites should use national standards everywhere, even in tooltips for reputation graph. Currently SO in Russian uses same format as English SO:

• Russian

  

• English

  

In other words, day-of-a-week, month day, year. I suggest to swap day and month, like it is used in the system clock tooltip in MS Windows by default:

Worth noting that format in table mode is already correct:

• English

  

• Russian

  

Adding a string with date format into transifex will allow fixing the issue.

Answer 1

So, this is already localized, in that the actual format has been put in a localizable string - the order of fields and the actual separators can be changed to suit the language of the site.

We have these localized strings (which are mostly placeholder and separators):

"$full_day_name$, $full_month_name$ $day_number$, $full_year$"

"$short_month_name$ '$short_year$"

"$short_month_name$ $day_number$"

These just need to be rearranged and the suitable separators used and it should Just Work™.

So, in Transifex, the Russian version would be:

"$full_day_name$, $day_number$ $full_month_name$, $full_year$"
