Dates are being shown wrongly on the /team/ page belonging to certain locales of wordpress.org. Where the English language date string is {{{F j, Y}}} The pt-BR locale at [br.wordpress.org/team/] would have {{{j \d\e F \d\e Y}}} However, the text on the page, for `March 21, 2018`, reads `21 \21\-03:00 março \21\-03:00 2018` in what looks like a double escaping issue. A similar issue was also found on [es.wordpress.org/team/]. Not every locale opted to include a connector (`de`) that needed escaping, therefore this issue is not seen, for example, on [fr.wordpress.org] or [it.wordpress.org]. We did not do a comprehensive search, more locales may be affected. We did an attempt at trying to find a translation that may have a double escape wrongly inserted on the string, {{{j \\d\\e F \\d\\e Y}}}, which would result in the malformed strings we see on the final page, but could not find any for pt-BR. The correct timestamp, untranslated, is present at the HTML code of the page. So we think this may be a Javascript function somewhere down the pipe adding the second escape and causing this issue." defect (bug) closed normal WordPress.org Site minor invalid has-screenshots
