Multilingual support for BoxStatus
Hello Box Team,
I would like to suggest an improvement for the Box Status page.
As Box is a global service, it would be ideal if the Status page itself could support multiple languages and provide a more localized experience for customers around the world.
However, even if full localization is not currently planned, I would greatly appreciate an improvement to the way timestamps are displayed.
At present, incident updates and maintenance notifications are shown only in PDT/PST. For customers outside North America, this requires manual time conversion every time we review a status update. For example, users in Japan must convert PDT/PST to JST to understand when an incident actually occurred.
During active incidents, having to calculate time differences can make it harder to quickly assess the situation and communicate accurately with internal stakeholders.
It would be very helpful if Box Status could provide one or more of the following options:
- Display timestamps in the viewer's local browser time zone
- Allow users to select their preferred time zone
- Show UTC alongside PDT/PST
- Provide a time zone conversion feature or tooltip
While multilingual support for the entire Status page would be the ideal long-term solution, improving timestamp localization alone would already make a significant difference for international customers.
Thank you for your consideration.
