Description Tobias Stefan Richter 2001-09-23 11:36:29 UTC 
Package: Evolution
Priority: Cosmetic
Version: 0.13
Synopsis: Support for European/ISO date format
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Calendar

Description:
You can choose between 12 or 24 hour time specification, but
I found no way to change date definitions from MM/DD/YYYY to
something like the European DD.MM.YYYY or the ISO standard
YYYY-MM-DD. I apprechiate that very much, in fact I won't use
evolution much before this becomes possible. Too confusing for me.

All date & time format strings are localized.
So you should be able to use the common format for your locale
(if Evolution has been translated properly for your locale).

Having an ISO format might be useful. Though I'm not sure
how many people would like that.
Comment 2 Tobias Stefan Richter 2001-10-08 13:20:56 UTC 
Setting LC_TIME or even LC_ALL to 'de' doesn't help at all.
With LC_ALL I get some german texts and menus but still 
the american date specification. 
I'd also like evolution to handle this setting as I do not
like the german locale for all applications.
