Description James Andrewartha 2009-05-18 00:50:34 UTC 
This is bug 213591 again: The timezone is set to Australia/Perth. The date fields in the calendar and tasks list are shown as MM/DD/YYYY. This is the incorrect format for this timezone. It should be DD/MM/YYYY.

I had a dig through the source but couldn't work out where the date was coming from - e-calendar-view.c, libecal in e-d-s, or it could even be direct from libical.

Date format doesn't depend on timezone afaik.
Comment 2 James Andrewartha 2009-05-18 05:20:56 UTC 
Locale then? LANG is set to en_AU.UTF-8.
Comment 3 Milan Crha 2009-07-07 12:37:30 UTC 
Yes, it's also a locale and translation thing at the moment. After the customizable date/time format in evolution components, this should be fixed too. I'm marking this as a duplicate of that request. (Note that there will be an option "use locale format" too.)
