## Description

**As** an OpenProject user  
**I want to** be able to choose my own date format   
**so that** I don't have to use the one set by the administrator or by my local (which might force an American mm-dd-yyyy format that I'm not used to)

**Context**

This feature will depend on progress on:

  - <mention class="mention" data-id="64234" data-type="work_package" data-text="###64234">\#\#\#64234</mention>

  - <mention class="mention" data-id="56584" data-type="work_package" data-text="###56584">\#\#\#56584</mention>

**Acceptance criteria**

  - Under *My account,*
    
      - Rename 'Settings' to *Language and region*,
        
          - After 'Time zone', add a new select option:
            
              - Label: "Date format"
            
              - Options:
                
                  - Default
                
                  - (the rest same as in Admin settings)
            
              - Caption: "Choose 'Default' to use the format chosen by the administrator of the instance."
