A very cool addition to the Options panel is a section for choosing the default date format for all of WP's strings - this is a huge step from the overly-geeky date()-using field, while still keeping it as a last option of 4, under "Custom" Even cooler is that the first field in this section is directly extracted from the translation file. Indeed, while by default the date settings are "F j, Y", I am able to set the first option as "j F Y" ; same for the hour setting, from "g:i a" to "G:i".
Alas, WP still use the Custom format as the default, while I think the logic would be to use the first option. What's more, the original Custom format is the English one, not the translation's. Same for date and hour. Conséquently, by default, dates appear in an inadequate format: for instance, the Dashboard's Last Draft panels says, in fr_FR: "# novembre 2, 2008 Mon titre", while it should be "2 novembre 2 2008 Petit test". So, could it be made that the default and custom date/hour formats are those of the translation? Thanks a lot for listening. (while I'm at it: even better would be to be able to influence all options from the translation, not just the first one) -- Xavier Borderie _______________________________________________ wp-testers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers
