What is Date & Number Formats?

Locale conventions — 1.000,50 vs 1,000.50; DD.MM.YYYY vs MM/DD/YYYY — that localized pages must respect.

In more depth

WordPress formats dates per locale automatically when the language is set correctly.

Why it matters for your website

Understanding Date & Number Formats helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
