Incorrect date format for Chinese locales #586

Description

The current date formats for Simplified and Traditional Chinese do not match typical localization conventions. See the screenshot below for details:

  • Currently, Simplified Chinese uses the date format MM月DD日 (e.g., 08月24日). While valid, this format appears inconsistent with typical usage in this context.

  • For Traditional Chinese, the app does not appear to apply a localized format and instead uses the same as English (e.g., DD/MM).

The appropriate short date format for both Simplified and Traditional Chinese in this context should be M/D (e.g., 8/24). 08/24 is acceptable, but 8/24 is preferred. In other contexts, the full format M月D日 (e.g., 8月24日) should be used.

I'm not sure whether platforms like Android or Flutter provide standardized date format presets for Chinese locales. If such presets exist, we should use them to ensure consistency and proper localization.
