At the moment, humantime conversion strings are hard coded, resulting in a UK forum displaying "Jan 1, 2019" as opposed to the "UK" format of "1 Jan 2019".
Could these formatting strings be moved to locales so that forum admins can override them as needed to match their own forum requirements?

I think this is where a UK (or non-american :P) language pack would come in?
The ll format would be the one displaying Jan 1, 2019, not the hardcoded D MMM. This can be overriden with config.js pretty sure?

@datitisev you are correct, https://github.com/Nearata/lang-italian/blob/master/locale/config.js can be used as an example of this.

Oh that's really useful, actually! I didn't realise that existed. Thanks for the help!

Not sure if this is possible, but maybe the locale config in the English language pack could be adopted to change this based on the region provided by the browser?
Localization is hard. :v:

The English language pack doesn't have momentjs config - it comes from moment itself.
I guess we could add our own and check navigator.language || navigator.userLanguage and see if it's en-US or anything else 馃

Let's say we might consider a PR. :wink:
