Dashes can't be localized / typography

Open aetherfaerber opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

For example, the Basic Module displays dates as D, j.m.Y, %H:%M - %H:%M

Using the en dash to denote a time span is correct in English but not in other languages. E.g. in German a Halbgeviertstrich should be used: D, j.m.Y, %H:%M–%H:%M

On pages with already several other occurrences of time spans this typographical inconsistency badly influences the overall design impression.

If integrating the dashes with the localization scheme seems too cumbersome, adding a field to the settings page or extending the strftime field from %H:%M to %H:%M - %H:%M would be absolutely sufficient.

Additionally, typography could further be improved by automatically removing the "," if "Y" is removed from the date format field in order to avoid a ".,"-situation.

Thanks a lot for your project and for developing it as free software!
