129547 - Need to indicate date format following "Date" string on search/filter window

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[ji]

This bug is filed as a workaround for bug 98144.

With the current build searching  mail by date is broken for international users
who use different date format as US/English, we need to indicate what date
format be used for search by adding string "MM/DD/YYYY" following "Date" in the
drop-down list. So the search criteria becomes something like "Date
(MM/DD/YYYY)" "is/isn't/is before/is after" <user input date>. In this case the
user will know what date format should be used for search.
We also need to add some localization notes in property file explaining the
reason and asking localization engineers to localize "Date" word only and leave
the date format untranslated.

This change should also affect filter window.

Comment 3

I meant date format shouldn't be translated, but "YYYY", "MM", "DD" can be
translated, so for Chinese, we can translate it to something like "ÈÕÆÚ £¨ÔÂÔÂ/
ÈÕÈÕ/ÄêÄêÄêÄ꣩" (view this page in gb2312)
