So both your computer and browser settings are using the correct language? I don’t know if the luxon formatting will do other languages. I can’t find it right now, but I remember seeing a post where someone used a template column to replace any words in the date with the translated word.

Here’s an alternative using JS.

```auto
let date = new Date(p1);
return new Intl.DateTimeFormat('fr', { dateStyle: 'full' }).format(date)

```

It’s an option, but how can I preserve users’ settings? This option would default to my settings or need more columns. I need an internationalized solution that respects users’ local time and preferences. Some workaround?
