User settings: add "Date format"

[Ildar_Gabdullin]

Currently a user can define a time format only:

When language is set to “English”, we get the “MM / DD / YYYY” presentation of date:

When language is set to “Russian”, we get the “DD.MM.YYYY” presentation of date:

Unfortunately, I cannot use English and “DD.MM.YYYY” simultaneously.
I propose to add a “Date format” selection field.

Have you tried English (GB) as a language? This is what I use and I never noticed a date in MM/DD/YYYY.

Thanks a lot for the advice!
It works.

English:

English (GB):

But anyway - assume someone wants to see the “DD.MM.YYYY” format - then the “Date format” settings will be useful…

Indeed, user’s should be able to select date format. I’ve voted already!

User selected date formats

Users have the option to select the time format, like 12h vs 24h, and the number format, like 1.222,04 vs 1,222.04, but the is no option to select the date format. If a user select english as language then the user will be force to the format 9/1/2022 for september, 1st 2022, but in many places 9/1/2022 is read as january, 9th 2022. And here the start of the week needs to be into concideration too, since english might start on sunday, while others start at monday.
