Contacts: German Date Format

[Dtrieb]

If I put a birthday in the textbox I have to write yyyy-mm-dd instate the german format dd.mm.yyyy

[irgendwie]

We need to handle language specific input formats! :disappointed:
Thanks for the issue!

Ah, nice, it's on the list already. Thanks a lot and kind regards, Tom

Maybe a validate method / tool tip can be added to tell the user the expected format? "Please use YYYY-MM-DD format" or something else. At least as long as the language specific input is implemented.

The problem now is, that you can fill in "01.02.1978" and it will also be shown in the contact's details in the NC contacts app. But it will not be synced down to Android correctly / is not interpreted correctly by Android.

Perhaps this help you to easy handle it: https://github.com/globalizejs/globalize

Great that this will be fixed in 3.0.0 :+1:
Just wondering: will this be fixed in (or enable a fix for) all languages? Or only German?
In Dutch it's also 'reversed order' (and I was just wondering today if this was on purpose)

@keunes 3.0.0 is released already. We now use the locale setting you can find on your personal nextcloud settings. So for every language! :)

[keunes]

Ah, great, thanks @skjnldsv! Any idea if v3 will also be available for NC14?

[skjnldsv]

@keunes no, you need at least 15 :)

Ok, guess we'll have to wait a while before my instance (stable/raspbian) gets updated.
