+      <h1>Date and Time Formats</h1>
+
+<p>Goffice needs to know how dates and times are usually written in a locale.
+We do that using translations of a handful of strings like "*Long Date Format"
+and "*Short Time Format".  These strings should be translated to Excel format
+codes representing the right format.  If that makes no sense to you, drop by
+the Gnumeric IRC channel and ask.</p>
+<p>Most of these have reasonable defaults if you do not translate them or
+translate them to the empty string.</p>
+<p>Wikipedia has a good overview of <a
+href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_by_country";>date and
+time formats by country</a>.</p>
+
+      <h2>Long Date Format</h1>
+<p>The US translation for this is "dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy" which translated to
+something like "Saturday, January 01, 2000".  <em>There is no good default for this.</em></p>
+
+      <h2>Medium Date Format</h1>
+<p>This defaults to "d-mmm-yyyy".</p>
+
+      <h2>short Date Format</h1>
+<p>This defaults to "m/d/yy", "d/m/yy", or "yy/m/d" depending on whether the OS
+tells us that month, day, or year should come first.</p>
+
+      <h2>Long Time Format</h1>
+<p>This defaults to "h:mm:ss AM/PM" or "hh:mm:ss" depending on whether the OS
+tells us that a 12 or 24 hour clock is in use.  Note, that the 12-hour clock
+will use a single digit for the hour if possible.</p>

+      <h2>Medium Time Format</h1>
+<p>This defaults to "h:mm AM/PM" or "hh:mm" depending on whether the OS
+tells us that a 12 or 24 hour clock is in use.  Note, that the 12-hour clock
