@Katherine_Duh: Any progress on timezone support either globally, by user or by field? We’ll take anything! Airtable works great for my international team in so many ways, but having dates and times confused due to TZ issues is very unpleasant.

Yes please. Spanish.

Everyone here speaks English but, from an Internal Marketing and training standpoint, software captions and labels should be in the local language.

I agree. I know people who can’t use Airtable (for co-workers) in Germany because it’s not localized.

+1 for the open-source language-settings file
the translation in French could increase the number of Airtable’s users, definitely :winking_face:
(and we could help for sure)

It’s a great tool and I’m happy to pay 24$ a month, but: Converting data from spreadsheets as a german user is a pain in the neck because Airtable ignores non-US Standards. I manually have to search and replace csv-data from 1.240,00 to 1,240.00. Also I have to convert standard (at least in Germany) Date formats from 03.04.2017 to something like 4-3-17 before I can use my data: Converting in Airtable will break everything. That’s really annoying and shouldn’t be a big problem to fix. Please, Airtable, I understand America comes first, but could Europe be second? Thanks!

Second this, European markets (of which some have massive potential) get ignored / neglected way too often by many US based SaaS platforms :-1:

I also have the date issue when copying Australian dates into Airtable, even when the Date column is formatted to the correct region, Airtable still flips the day and month around breaking things.

I basically have to use Excel as a middle man to pre-process my copy/paste data.

French is missing for my users.

Totally agree

@Katherine_Duh Hi! I’m new here, so hope this post is not misplaced. Currencies are a problem as far I could test them (we Europeans write a thousand twenty euros and 30 cents 1.020,30€ or 1020,30€). Isn’t it possible to use the system settings for dates and currencies?

are there any news on this item? I’m perplexed that Airtable is still so US centric that international date and number formats aren’t available to us.
