 * In General Field Settings there is a pulldown for date format.
    The options available
   are: mm/jj/aaaa jj/mm/aaaa mm-jj-aaaa jj-mm-aaaa mm.jj.aaaa jj.mm.aaaa dd/mm/
   yyyy dd-mm-yyyy dd.mm.yyyy
 * I would like to use yyyy-mm-dd
    How could I do it?
 * The reason I would like to use yyyy-mm-dd is that I would like to sort by date
   in Contact Form DB.
    BTW, my WordPress version is french_FR.

 * Hi, I just checked my testing website and it has the following yyyy-mm-dd available.
   I also checked the French translation and it has the following translated yyyy-
   mm-dd = yyyy-mm-dd which is incorrect. I am not french but I know that translation
   is incorrect. Just did a google translation check and it should be aaaa-mm-jj.
   You might like to change it yourself using the following [instructions](http://www.fastsecurecontactform.com/how-to-update-translation).
 * Or you could use the following plugin [Loco Translate](https://wordpress.org/plugins/loco-translate/).
 * Let me know if you need more help.

 * Thanks for the quick answer!
    I was able to modified the PO and MO file and it
   is now fine. The problem was that: yyyy/mm/dd was translated to dd/mm/yyyy instead
   of aaaa/mm/jj yyyy-mm-dd was translated to dd-mm-yyyy instead of aaaa-mm-jj yyyy.
   mm.dd was translated to dd.mm.yyyy instead of aaaa.mm.jj As per your request,
   I make a support ticket and request to submit the new language files to be included
   in the plugin download.

 * I went to Support ticket but it looks like it is only for Premium users.
    Could
   you please make sure the following changes get incorporated into the fr_FR PO
   and MO files: yyyy/mm/dd translated to aaaa/mm/jj yyyy-mm-dd translated to aaaa-
   mm-jj yyyy.mm.dd translated to aaaa.mm.jj
 * Thanks!
