We’ve released a pack of improvements for the [Calculator](https://elfsight.com/calculator-form-widget/) app 🛠

> **Automatic time format detection**
>
> The **Time Format** setting has been removed from the **Time** field of the **Lead Form**. The format is now detected automatically based on your widget’s locale.
> 
> For example:
> 
> - If your widget is set to English (United Kingdom), the Time field will display 24-hour format, which is standard in the UK.
> 
> \*If it’s set to English (US), the Time field will display 12-hour format.

  

> **Automatic date format detection**
>
> The Date Format options in the **Date** field of the **Lead Form** have been updated too.
> 
> The first option now automatically matches the format that best suits your widget’s locale. In addition, three commonly used formats are displayed for convenience:
> 
> ```auto
> yyyy-MM-dd
> dd/MM/yyyy
> MM/dd/yyyy
> 
> ```

  

> **Display of the currency symbol**
>
> The position of the currency symbol is now automatically defined by the widget locale (language selected in the settings)

  

> **Number formatting**
>
> We’ve removed _Decimal Separator_ and _Thousands Separator_ options because the number formatting is now automatically defined by the widget locale (language selected in the settings).

  

> **Use Thousands Separator**
>
> We’ve added a new _ **Use Thousands Separator** _ option. This setting lets you disable the separator individually for the Number field and calculations:
