Please use the correct date format
Hi Dateformat,
Thank you for your contributions to Commons. I noticed you mentioned a date on File:Example.jpg. Please know that in order for dates to be automatically detected and translated into other languages it needs to be in the YYYY-MM-DD format (ie. 2024-01 for January 2024 or 2024-11-23 for 23 November 2024). Also, for other (less specific) dates use {{Other date}} for centuries, ranges, 'circa' etc. like this: {{other date|between|1899|1903}} for "between 1899 and 1903
". This way the dates will be translated internally into the user's language preference. I've fixed it for you here. See for example the result in Spanish: here. Thanks again.
