# 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  ## New View ### English  ### French  ### Portuguese  ### Italian  # 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>
