Installation dates of applications not localizable on the details page of installed applications

Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

In the Ubuntu Software Center (e.g. for the Natty alpha/beta) …

On the details page for an installed application the installation date (on the top left within the horizontal bar) is not displayed in a localized fashion but always like YYYY-MM-DD. Please see the attached screenshot.

This date should be formatted by placeholders like %Y, %m and %d within the translatable string number 214 [1]. But in the original english string there is only one placeholder %s which makes it impossible for us translators to localize the date. This makes it hard for (e.g. German) users to read that line in a proper way. The correct date formatting for e.g. German would then be: %d.%m.%Y

Please correct the original string (e.g. insert single placeholders for the year, month and day).

Thanks!

Thanks again!

Thanks Robert and Gary!

That was fast. I just found these two changed strings (as well as a bunch of other new strings) for software-center (as well as software-center-doc) in Launchpad and translated them all (to German). As soon as I've tested the new localized (German) strings, I'll let you know here.

With kind regards
