Description of Problem:

If set all LC_* to de_DE@euro and verything is fine sofar. Gnumeric is
in "german mode" but when i insert a date i get it in the form dd/mm/yy
but it should be dd.mm.yy. I haven't found an option where to correct it
(beside redefinding the format per cell, what is not acceptable because
i'm migration ~ 400 Excel sheets to Gnumeric and every sheet as atleast
one date-cell in it).et pgp_autosign

Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2003-08-14 20:21:31 UTC 
This is the same issue as Bug 33229: there is no straight forward way
to figure out the separator used from the locale other than parsing a
formatted date string.
