Description Lucas Rocha 2008-05-12 13:55:01 UTC 
Using the Month/Day format for dates is not very intuitive for everyone because it can be different depending on the country. In Brazil and Finland, for example, people are more used to the Day/Month format.

One possible solution is to show a more textual date "May 5", "March 27" which can be nicely localized.

This is already localizable.  Take this line form TaskTreeView.cs, for example:

dueDateStore.AppendValues (today.AddDays(2).ToString(Catalog.GetString("M/d - ddd")));

Translators could replace "M/d" with "d/M" or whatever makes sense for their locale.
Comment 2 Lucas Rocha 2008-05-14 20:16:55 UTC 
Indeed. I noticed that before but I forgot to close the bug. :-)
