#1078 new defect

timestamps: localizable format and timezone

Reported by: zooko Owned by: somebody
Priority: minor Milestone: eventually
Component: code Version: 1.7β
Keywords: i18n time usability welcome directory-page wui Cc:
Launchpad Bug:

Description (last modified by daira)

Make it possible for a user to specify that they want timestamps in their local formatting and language and also in their local timezone. Ideally this would be detected automatically from the operating system configuration instead of the user specifying it for Tahoe-LAFS itself. Perhaps format and timezone should be broken out into separate tickets.

See also #1077 (consistent timestamp format and timezone).

Call me a cultural imperialist, but I think everyone should like ISO 8601 or lump it ;-)

after reading man tzset I think #1934 is the correct way to resolve this

leif called me a cultural imperialist in person. Achievement unlocked.

Now that ​this is merged, timestamps in the WUI are in a consistent format (in the gateway's timezone) and the formatting is all done in one place (​here), so, locale-specific formatting could be easily implemented if someone feels like doing that.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
