Well, Liferea has its own format. So, it's inconsistent with this other applications. > From what I read above it seems that liferea will continue displaying > date/time based on language/locale settings. So marking as wontfix seems > appropriate. Liferea is not displaying date/time based on language/locale settings. Moreover there are several ways to display the date/time based on locale settings. For instance, the month can be displayed either as a number or as a sequence of letters. Some users will want one form, others will want some other form. The only standard way I know to display combined date/time is strftime's %c format. But I don't think anyone would like it for Liferea, as it would take much space, in particular. > I'd assume that now with GTK3 there would be a way to specify custom > date/time formatting and have it applied across all GTK3 applications. > Is that not the case? I don't know.
