Internationalization

Trying to make INTERDUBS compliant with non US formats is something that we are trying to do. But support is not complete. Sorry.


Date format

Most Internationalization shortcomings revolve around the date format and display.

Clients first

Client facing pages have the date format you set and will respect the time zone entered.


Admin Interface

Internally INTERDUBS runs on the Pacific Time Zone (PDT). This is regardless of the data center you use. When INTERDUBS displays times in this internal format then it will append the the letters "PDT" in the end of the time display. This is the case in access log time display, as well as in the expiration, creation and modification times for files.

24 hours - always

INTERDUBS displays all times in the 24 hour format. We have not yet found any benefit in the AM / PM format common in the US.

Enhanced character sets

INTERDUBS clip names can have any character you like. So far we did not see an umlaut or any other 'special' non ASCII code break this. All pages should display correctly in different country varations.


Please let us know

We understand that we don't understand how this date format handling works for you. So please let us know if you see room for improvement. As anything else it can be changed. We can make this part of the system configurable as well for instance. But it would only make sense if that would be worth your time. Thanks.
