Summary0007137: International-style dates
Description

Please can we have dates that are not US-specific on the http://bugs.mantisbt.org website instead of the defaults.

E.g.
$g_short_date_format = 'M-d-Y'
or
$g_short_date_format = 'd-M-Y'

Additional Information

Maybe the defaults should be less US-centric too.

TagsNo tags attached.

Maybe adding a user preference to override site settings for the date format would be in order?

Especially given the international audience of this Mantis implementation on the Mantis site, it should be using the ISO8601 date format yyyy-mm-dd, which is unambiguous.

The dates are not U.S.-centric right now. I don't know what they are, but I don't think anybody writes today's date as "06-05-06" in the U.S.; they would write "6/5/06" or "6/5/2006". I agree that an unambiguous ISO8601-style YYYY-MM-DD date would be preferrable for this installation. Reopening 0003160.
