Adding a non-english formatted (publication) date to reference
Hi folks,
I do have the following problem with editing (new) entries in my library. If I do add a date I do use by my German date format by default e.g. "02.03.2015" meaning "March 2nd, 215". Zotero is always reading this as "February, 3rd 2015" because it use the English date notation.
Naturally I can use "2015-03-02" which will be detected correct by Zotero and there is no problem too if the date number is greater than 12.
But I would prefer to be able to select the date format out of a combobox if it was detect false by zotero. This box could be at the place Zotero actually prints the "m d y" comment at the end of input line after entering a date.
Regards,
Thomas

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Either way, a better date field, including an (optional) date picker is planned.
That can help : https://www.zotero.org/support/supported_languages
Moreover, other dates as accessed date are rendered the US way in the middle pane in standalone and not localized to German. For example "3/5/15" instead of "5.3.15".
Okay, another test case is intl.locale.matchOS = true, general.useragent.locale = de, which is also working fine. When is zotero using which values?
