I have a semi-offtopic suggestion.
This patch will introduce a new screen with the mod cleanup. On this screen we have a date column currently in "DD/MM/YY" format.
It would be nice if a translator could change the date format using a new translation field (like tx_ prefixed fields for language setup).
In most cases I personally prefer long date formats (like ISO 8601 date format, eg.: 2023-07-23), but to keep things simple, I am just asking for a 3+1 or 8 character wide date format specifier with three possible letters: "YMD", and separators: "/.-".
Example with 3+1 characters: "DMY/" or "YMD." (this notation is very unusual, but could be enough for order specification, but maybe a better idea to define two new fields: one for order specification, and one for the separator character)
Example with 8 characters: "DD/MM/YY" or "YY.MM.DD"
This change will not break the length of the current UI labels.
Here is a useful link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country
The fact that we currently have the same kind of date columns/fields on some other places makes this suggestion as semi-offtopic. (e.g. replays, file chooser dialogs, mods screen). So, it's absolutely fine if this post will be moved to offtopic. I have realized this localization issue just now when checking modification dates on the mods screen.
