In a few places in the app we show a date or a time — most notably in the message list for when a message was sent. (Currently just the dateless time on each message; soon dates in #172 and #173.) Currently these are in a constant format that doesn't respond to the user's locale. We should internationalize them.

This will require #275.

This is a relatively late priority because it's something zulip-mobile doesn't do; see zulip/zulip-mobile#1529 and zulip/zulip-mobile#4814. OTOH Zulip web does accomplish this, at least in the most visible spots: the right column of "Recent conversations", and the times and dates at the right edge of the message list.

Another place dates and times appear in the UI is the lightbox:
