Hi,
I use the french translation of Discourse and I found some strings that I can’t translate in the customize part of the admin panel.
“Primary email ” when you try to register an account with a blacklisted email domain.
“of ” when you click on one image in a post with multiple big images to see it in full screen.
“to ” and the entire list of periodicity in the insert date menu.
The display of the month is in English in the message sent for the new user of the month .

I also want to point out that you can’t change the format of a selected date in Advanced search and the Insert date menu (It’s not readable for a french).

How is YYYY-MM-DD not readable for a ?
I know we mostly use DD-MM-YYYY, but I find YYYY-MM-DD easy enough to read (I actually prefer that format, but that’s just because I’m a geek ).

Sorry, I mispoke. It’s readable but it can be confusing because we don’t use this format. For example:
March 9, 2019 = 2019-03-09
A french may wonder which of these numbers is the month and which is the day. I’m pretty sure my grandmother can’t read that kind of format.

I blame the for coming up and using the butchered MM/DD/YYYY format.

Was it really the US? I would expect we inherited it from the UK like imperial units.

US/UK, is there a difference?
EDIT: looks like you’re right. The UK did invent that format but they regained their sanity in the 20th Century thanks to the .

I added the missing translations for the lightbox in UX: Add translations for lightbox · discourse/discourse@7e8579b · GitHub .
The “Insert date” dialog should already be fully translatable.
This was fixed in New user of the month: wrong month, not localized - #5 by gerhard .
Regarding the "YYYY-MM-DD` date format: As far as I can see our datepicker always uses that format. Changing that behavior so that it shows a localized date while making sure that nothing breaks will take a little bit more time. I’ll take another look at this at a later time.
