datetime format is incorrect regarding users locale

[anonymous]

date and datetime formatting (and therefore date_hint and datetime_hint) is not respecting user's locale.

For example if I edit a milestone with a German language preference then it will show following hint:

Format: MM/DD/YY

but it should be

Format: DD.MM.YYYY

Also when formatting dates in roadmap it will be displayed as 07/30/10 instead of 30.07.2010.

See #2182, which has a patch (well, a git fork). It would be nice if you could test it and report if the proposed solution would work for you.

Thanks for the immediate reply. To be honest, I don't know how to do merging my trac-source with this git-fork (haven't done anything yet with git!). It is good to see, that it'll work at this issue.

Is there a how-to for merging and (re-)building trac with some forks?

It's the same procedure as for installing from source (see e.g. TracDownload#Installingversionsfromcheckouts). Here, you simply get the source either by doing git clone <git-repository-url> or from the .tar.gz or the .zip you'd get from the "Download Source" button - see ​http://github.com/jun66j5/trac/tree/t2182-i18n-datetime).
