Build the two rule descriptions as sentences, not fragments
Both describeRule functions assembled their output by concatenation, which no catalogue could fix. A translator handed " and " or " on " in isolation cannot move it: German puts the verb last, Japanese does not separate list items with a word at all, and the fragments arrive in an order the English sentence chose. Reported by a native speaker reviewing the German catalogue (#247), whose "the summaries" item is the Sieve one. Every branch is now one whole sentence with placeholders, so a translator rewrites the sentence including its word order. Joining is Intl.ListFormat, which gives "A, B und C" for an allof rule and the language's own disjunction for anyof, rather than a hardcoded " and " that would be wrong twice over. The recurrence tail no longer appends: ", 5 times" and ", until 2026-05-03" wrap the sentence they qualify, so a language that puts the limit first can. Ordinals become words. The old suffix table -- st, nd, rd, th, picked by arithmetic -- is English spelling rules in code, and no catalogue can reach a suffix chosen that way. German writes "1.", Japanese "第1". nthOfPeriod is 1-5 or -1 in practice, so five words and "last" cover it. WEEKDAYS is gone. Its long names could have been catalogue entries but its short ones never could: "T" is Tuesday and Thursday, "S" is Saturday and Sunday, and a catalogue cannot hold two translations under one key. That was bad data rather than missing translation, and Intl has every name in every locale in three widths. lib/datetime.ts gains weekdayName, weekdayNames and formatList; recurrence.ts keeps WEEKDAY_KEYS for the ordering, which is not a language question. Adds the first tests either function has had. Neither had any, and no test would have caught what was wrong with them, since the English output was correct -- so these pin the two properties that actually matter: fragments go through the catalogue, and the joining is Intl's. 32 strings and 9 plural forms are new and land with each language. Verified: typecheck clean, 1009 tests pass. |

Folder names follow the language, and three bugs that found
Answering "can we ask Stalwart to serve German folder names": no, and it would not help if we could. The account locale exists in `x:AccountSettings`, and ihasmail already reads it -- that is what "Your mail server reports German" comes from -- but writing it needs `sysAccountSettingsSet`, which the built-in user role does not carry; only an admin could. And even then it would change nothing, because folder names are stored data written once when the account is provisioned. No server renames them afterwards; every other client has them mapped. The role is the way through. JMAP tags the standard folders and ihasmail already trusts the role over the name everywhere it matters, so the *displayed* name can follow the interface language with nothing written to the server. A folder somebody made and called "Newsletters" keeps that name: those are their words, and translating them would name a folder they never created. The cost is real and worth stating: Thunderbird on the same account still shows "Deleted Items", because that is what the folder is called. Inside ihasmail it stays consistent -- everything that names a folder goes through one function, including the "moved to …" toast, which exists precisely so that message does not name somewhere the reader cannot find. Renaming still edits the server's own name, never the localised one. Three things fell out of it. The message list refreshed for ever after a language change, which is the one somebody noticed. The root keys its tree on the language version, so a publish remounts everything; remounting re-runs the effect that loads the account's settings, which calls applyLang, which called setCatalog again -- with an identical tag and an identical catalogue -- and publishing that non-change went round again. setCatalog now returns early when nothing changed. Measured rather than assumed: three consecutive five-second windows with no JMAP calls at all, against a pre-change count that never settled. Calendar months and weekdays stayed English, because formatting locale and interface language are separate settings and only the first feeds Intl. Keeping them separate is right -- German dates with an English interface is a real preference -- but somebody who picks German and is shown "September" has not got what they asked for. A chosen interface language now joins the *automatic* chain ahead of the server and the browser. Setting a formatting locale explicitly still wins, and English is not counted, so an English interface on a German browser keeps German dates exactly as before. And the Archive folder read "Archivieren", which is the verb. English uses one word for the button and the folder; German does not, and neither does "Important", which is also a priority tag. tc(context, source) keys the catalogue on both and falls back to the plain English, which was right in English all along -- the gettext approach, including the control character as separator so no real string can collide. The catalogue checker needed teaching about tc() twice: first it reported the eight contextual entries as stale, then it asked for the plain fallbacks as though they were a second obligation. A check that reports work which does not exist gets switched off, which is worse than not having one. |

Custom date and time pickers that follow the configured format
Browsers render <input type="date"> and datetime-local in their own locale and ignore the page's, so #1 left a German user on an English browser reading 22.11.2025 everywhere but still entering dates through an mm/dd/yyyy widget. #3 makes the case that people use the picker rather than typing, which is where the AM/PM mistakes happen. New DateField and DateTimeField (web/src/ui/datefield.tsx) replace all nine native controls — event editor (all-day and timed start/end, recurrence until), out-of-office, contact birthday, advanced search. They take and emit the same ISO strings the native inputs did, so call sites barely changed. Each is a text box in the configured order plus a popover: a month grid (week start from settings, locale weekday and month names, today and the selection marked) and, for date-times, a list of times in the configured clock. Keyboard: arrows move by day, PageUp/PageDown by month, Home/End across the week, Enter picks, Escape closes, ArrowDown opens; the focused day holds DOM focus so screen readers follow, and the dialog has an accessible name (Popover gained an ariaLabel prop). Text entry is lenient — the configured order with any separator, unseparated digits (221125), day and month alone, non-Latin digits, and bare ISO always; times take 18:23, 1823, 6:23pm, 930. What will not parse reverts on blur rather than clearing the field, and impossible dates like 31 February are rejected instead of rolling into March. Editable boxes stay Gregorian and Latin-digit even where display does not (fa-IR, th-TH, ar-EG): the locale's field order and separator are kept, but a Buddhist-era year in a text box cannot round-trip against a Gregorian grid. Noted in the README. The out-of-office format echo added in #2 is gone — the fields now show the right format themselves. Closes #3 |

Configurable date and time formats, defaulting to the Stalwart locale
Every user-visible date now goes through web/src/lib/datetime.ts, driven by three settings (Settings > General > Locale): - Language & region: automatic, or any of the 618 locales CLDR has data for, each named in its own language and script (web/src/lib/locales.ts, generated by probing Intl over the subtag space). - Date format: automatic (locale order), 22.11.2025, 22/11/2025, 11/22/2025, or ISO 8601 2025-11-22. - Time format: automatic (locale), 24-hour, or 12-hour. Automatic takes the locale Stalwart has for the account, read best-effort at login via x:Account/get (urn:stalwart:jmap) and passed to the client in the session; servers without the capability, or that deny sysAccountGet to a regular user, fall back to the browser locale. POSIX forms are normalised (de_DE.UTF-8 -> de-DE) and script modifiers kept (sr_RS@latin -> sr-Latn-RS, uz_UZ@cyrillic -> uz-Cyrl-UZ), while dialect/variant/currency modifiers are dropped and a script the locale already implies is not appended. Numerals follow the locale (22.11.2025 renders as Arabic-Indic digits under ar-EG); ISO 8601 is the exception and pins date and clock to Latin digits so one line never mixes digit systems. Rewired: message list and headers, quoted reply headers, calendar (titles, weekday and hour gutters, mini calendar, agenda, popovers, invite cards, free/busy), contacts, files, sessions. No raw toLocale*String date calls are left in web/src. Native <input type="datetime-local"> pickers always follow the browser locale and cannot be restyled by a page, so the out-of-office fields echo the entered instant in the chosen format underneath. Also: month-grid day labels no longer wrap when they hold a date, and the mock server serves x:Account/get (MOCK_LOCALE, default en_US). Closes #1 |
