Portuguese is the first language for many of our employees and it would be great to have that as an option for the language preferences found in user settings.

I think this has been posted already, but I wanted to recreate the topic and give more details so more users can find themselves actually wanting the same thing. I’m sure many companies (like ours) fell in love with Airtable first they saw the great features it has. When you see how you can greatly simplify project, database, or table management in general, you realise that with Airtable you can save a lot of your owns or your employees’ time. But then… When I started to create some big tables, I found out this app lacks some simple regional options such as: Cannot change the decimal separator (not every country uses a “.” dot) Cannot set a custom date format (not every country in Europe uses MM/DD/YYYY) In Germany we use MM.DD.YYYY and this must be respected. I know there is a workaround to create another column and use DATETIME_FORMAT() formula to reformat the date from original column - but this is not a solution. Strings like month or day names should be translated to the chosen language of the base. So if you ever implement Regional and Language Options, please make it so users can change it for a base, and not whole program. So, before we migrate completely to Airtable, and switch to one of Business plans - we’d like these fundamental options implemented. Of course, we already are using Airtable, but just to create base concepts that we will use once this is implemented. Thank you for your time, and please make this a priority.

Even though it is such a small thing it is extremely annoying to work with. I would really appreciate it if it would be possible to have the option to start every calendar view on Monday. Ideally, it would be not only for the browser but also for the mobile and desktop app. (Changing the browser time zone does not work)

Hi there - I live in the United States, but my industry uses Sunday as the week ending day, so we always distribute calendars that read Monday to Sunday. I saw in another thread that this problem was “solved” by simply updating your computer’s location settings. However, as I’m in the US, I do prefer that dates look like US dates throughout my system (month/date/year), so this is not really a good solution for me. I imagine I’m not the only one. I’d like to purchase the Pro plan for my team so that we can take advance of Airtable calendars, but we need to be able to set the start and end day of the week as an Airtable setting, not as a computer setting. Is this a possibility? Google Calendars can do this, as well as most other calendar apps I use, so hopefully it’s not a big thing to solve. thanks!

It would be a great plus for us (non US users) to use comma instead of dot and vice versa.

What is the proposed idea/solution? In workspace settings, provide an option to choose a default DATETIME_FORMAT format specifier (such as ISO 8601). After choosing this, all future tables/bases date fields will default to this specifier. How does is solve the user problems? This saves the time it takes to manually update date fields to comply with a preferred format. Furthermore, it helps enforce consistency from employee to employee. How was this validated? User survey and study,. Who is the target audience? All Airtable users.

The ability to set defaults at levels higher than field: base, workspace, team, user or account level for time zones and date, number and currency formats. For accounts or workspaces where all users consistently work in the same locale that is not the US, it would save base builders a lot of work in setup, double-checking and troubleshooting, and avoid many mistakes caused by inconsistencies and discrepancies for the whole organization.

It would be nice to have sorting by the Scandinavian alphabet. Saves a lot of unnecessary handworks.
