Feature Request: Display timestamps in user’s local time #4

Description

@erklu

Background

All timestamps (e.g. file upload time, last edited time) are currently shown in UTC. While technically accurate, this is confusing for users who expect to see times in their local timezone.

Requested functionality
• Convert all timestamps from UTC to the user’s local time in the interface
• Apply this formatting in all views where timestamps appear, including:
• File list / dashboard
• Transcription detail view
• Job history or log
• Optionally display timezone abbreviation (e.g. CET, PST) or clearly indicate “local time”

Implementation notes
• Backend should continue to return timestamps in ISO 8601 UTC format (e.g. 2025-06-03T12:32:00Z)
• Frontend converts to local time using built-in Date.toLocaleString() or equivalent

Example

2025-06-03T12:32:00Z → displayed as → 2025-06-03 14:32 (local time)

Priority

Medium – not blocking core features, but important for user clarity and professionalism
