3 years ago No but it is a very reasonable request.
- On posts it use the
preTitlefrom the front matter. - On cards it use the date formatted as english.
Pragmatic solution When briefly looking I couldn't find any Jekyll plugins that handled just the dates. And after giving it some thought I like the simplicity and freedom of just making it a text field.
It could also be argued that posts doesn't have to be used as news with dates. So, I've opted for using the preTitle property on cards as we do on posts anyway. That gives editors the freedom to write want they want. Could be a date in any language. It could be anything really.
Automate it If someone finds it frustrating having to write dates on posts, then I'm very open to a pull request. The approach should probably be something along: a Jekyll plugin that can localize dates. And an option in _config to use dates over preTitle for posts.
@MortenHofft How can we translate the dates of the posts?
Thank you in advance
