Listings of tagged news articles appear odd, especially in translated pages.

  • The month of the news date is always shown in English
  • The date format is not internationalized, but also is not in the ISO format, it is basically wrong, in any language.
  • The news date is displayed between headline and newsteaser, if a newsteaser cannot be found, it is just displayed after the headline, and still styled as an introduction to subsequent content. This looks especially odd.

Original comment from @max.mehl:

What is this item about specifically? We should separate between news archive, news frontpage, and some general issues like the date localisation.

Regarding the latter, I noted down that @paul had the idea to render all localised dates for 365(+1) days using GNU date, and save them in an XML file.

xsl 2.0 has powerful date formatting capabilities, including language-specific formatting: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/xslt-2nd-edition/9780596527211/ch04s05.html

Do we actually use XSL 2.0? IIRC we were doomed to use v1 earlier because of some dependency. Is this still the case?

We use XSL 1.0 and looking closer, it seems like switching to 2.0 could turn out to be way harder than I expected. So maybe this is not a good option.
