Why do you think this should be done client-side? Comment 8 is very clear, the
option is to use a parser function.
{{#dateformat:date}} can already handle the localisation of dates I think, the
problem would be time but probably it wouldn't be super-hard?
The problem is that adding parserfunctions to talks makes wikitext quite ugly,
so probably this should be disabled by default and wikis with a very
international community would enable it if they wish.
I don't think we should clutter things for everyone just for the sake of those
very few cross-wiki users (like me) that ask weird features like
