Description

Hi!
I would like to ask to add locale to dates on the previews. Currently it's always using the english format, but for other languages, that might cause some confusion. English format uses month/day/year. In spanish, we use day/month/year.
For example, a file created on 1/12/2025, would mean 12th of January for english format, but it would mean 1st of december in spanish, which is almost 12 months apart. It would also cause "non valid" dates in cases like 31/01/2025

Solution

I would like to suggest to add a setting option inside the settings modal, with a selector to choose some options. At the moment I can think about 2 options: system_default and english. In case there's someone that has a different locale on their computer, they could still choose to visualize the file date in english format if desired

I would also like to add if I could tackle the solution of this request myself if it gets approved
