Not localising the time - that is not what is needed. Just internationalising the date format.
Much of the world does not use the US 3/14/2019 format. It leads to day/month confusion for the first 12 days of each month. A non ambiguous date format with alpha month format should be used to avoid that confusion.
Yes, I understand, but that's a form of localization (using month/day or day/month depending on location of user).
If the month is shown as a word rather than a number than that becomes universal?
Yes, your version is definitely universal, and it's definitely better from that point of view. But it's a bit harder to figure out the duration requested for the proposal (a lot of people aren't able to easily convert month names to month numbers in their head). Your idea may still be better, I just mean there is a trade-off involved.
Presumably the code can work out and display the duration readily enough?
Any news on the progress of the DAO now?
I hope to provide an update tomorrow.
