[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Localise message timestamps (Issue #4067)

[Tom Hughes]

We have no idea what the user's timezone is, so no we can't do that.

While we could show them as relative times that would still be relative to UTC not to the user's timezone, and relative times tend to be quite unpopular and to generate complaints.

The only way we could do what you want is if we allowed a user to set a timezone in the preferences and stored it in the user record in the database.
