Comment 2 Jakub Hadvig 2021-01-18 12:39:40 UTC
Based on the current this doesnt seems as a i18n BZ. Although there was a pretty big commit addressed thats also changing `timestamp.tsx`
https://github.com/openshift/console/commit/5464e1058c275f95a29688fbe2f5c192de0f78b7

The issue I see it, is in:
https://github.com/openshift/console/blob/master/frontend/public/components/utils/timestamp.tsx#L57
where we are converting the given date object’s contents into a string in ISO format aka. "easy to read format".

Rebecca could you please take a look, if this really is an i18n issue. Thanks

Comment 4 Samuel Padgett 2021-01-20 18:15:30 UTC
Just a quick note that this isn't related to any i18n changes. The tooltip shows the raw UTC date by design. We can look at it as a usability bug.

We have had requests to have the date available as UTC: https://github.com/openshift/console/issues/1436

Comment 5 ralpert 2021-01-22 16:57:44 UTC
Removing i18n and Translation keywords since this predates both.

Comment 6 ralpert 2021-01-22 20:58:32 UTC
Hi @lijli - I brought this up with the UX team since we're now looking at this as a usability bug. Was your concern about readability related to the font, color, etc.? Or was it based on the unexpected UTC content? Thanks!

Comment 7 Andy Braren 2021-01-22 21:26:29 UTC
I notice that the Console's tooltip font size is only 13px compared to PatternFly's 14px. If the legibility of the white text itself on its black background is the problem, increasing the font size couldn't hurt!

I see we're overriding PatternFly's default `14px` of `--pf-global--FontSize--sm` to be `13px` at the root level in our _vars.scss file. I'm sure there's a reason for that, but maybe we should reevaluate and see what happens if we switch to `14px` Console-wide.

Comment 8 Samuel Padgett 2021-01-22 21:28:09 UTC
I believe the issue is that we're showing a raw UTC date instead of a formatted date. Lijun, let me know if I'm wrong.

Comment 9 ralpert 2021-02-02 18:53:38 UTC
Hey @lijli - Would you be able to give us more info on what you're expecting? Thanks.

Hi Rebecca, sorry reply late, I'm not concern about the font/color for the tooltips of date, and as Samuel said, please use the formatted date/time but not the raw UTC date in the tooltips.

Thanks,
Robert

Tested on ocp 4.8 cluster with payload 4.8.0-0.nightly-2021-02-24-063313. On console, check tooltips of created time on pods page, the UTC time is formatted now.
The bug is fixed.
