New: Dates now follow your region

I noticed WingTask was showing every date in US format, month first, no matter where you are. That meant a task due 8 October showed as 10/8/2026, which most of the world reads as 10 August.

Dates now follow your region. WingTask reads the language and region your browser already sends with every request (the Accept-Language header) and formats dates the way they’re written there:

Browser set to 8 October 2026 shows as
English (United States) 10/8/2026
English (United Kingdom) 08/10/2026
Português (Brasil) 08/10/2026
Deutsch (Deutschland) 8.10.2026

What you get:

  • Due, scheduled, wait, until, start, end and created dates on the task list and task details all use your region’s order.
  • Dates always use the Western (Gregorian) calendar and 0–9 digits, so the year and numbers stay the same as in Taskwarrior.
  • The rest of WingTask stays in English. Only the dates change.

If your dates still look wrong: check your browser’s preferred language. WingTask uses the first language in that list. A browser set to plain “English” with no region gets US format, so choose “English (United Kingdom)”, “English (Australia)” or whichever matches you.

Times are unchanged and still follow the 12/24-hour setting under Settings > Preferences.
