Description Danielle Madeley 2006-07-27 13:36:03 UTC 
Most date fields in the calendar component do not use the local date format, but instead use American date format.

Places this have been noticed include:
 - the popup "tooltip" when you hover over an appointment
 - the recurrance dialog, in Exceptions
 - the list view

It is worth noting that the calendar dropdowns display the date in the correct order for the locale.

Still present in 2.12.1.

Note that this is similar to but more general than bug 256905.

no.
everything seems to be totally correct here in de_DE.utf8, running 2.21.5.
can you please tell us your locale, and provide a screenshot?

Andre, can you confirm this?
Comment 5 André Klapper 2008-06-21 12:40:51 UTC 
the problem happens with every en_* locale that does not end with US or GB - there should be a few duplicates in this tracker.
this also triggers other big problems, see e.g. bug 525689. no idea how to solve this codewise, though.

OK, so we have one request for the mailer, in bug #336253, and a very similar one for calendar, it's this one. And some general bug, which I'm marking this as a duplicate of.
