Here is how we think about date localization problems:

And here are the principles we’ll strive for:

- **Adapt date & time for each person individually**  
Rather than assuming a company-wide standard, we acknowledge that even teammates might have different preferences, so we format date and time per user across Fibery.
- **Be clear and unambiguous**  
When displaying time, we always specify the time zone. When it’s the usual one, the indicator is unobtrusive (e.g. on hover); when the time zone differs from the user’s, it’s immediately clear (e.g. icon displayed).
- **Mind the diverse world**  
We allow the week to start on any day, not just Monday or Sunday, and display all options as equal.
- **Make the best effort to guess the right settings for each person**  
Rather than assuming everyone in the US and expecting everyone else to visit settings, we set the defaults based on the user’s browser locale.
- **Assume some guesses will be wrong and allow for tweaks**  
Sometimes people have weird browser locales, and sometimes they use a different preferred time zone for work-related stuff — that’s why we allow to override the settings.

The first day of the week is coming soon, the rest is less clear. Formatting date & time per user has the highest chances to be next (:
