that shows that they are set correctly. Therefore I could conclude that Open Office is ignoring a correctly set locale and I could file an issue. If you'd like to help me, seeing as you are using the ISO date format, then please enter the date 2008-08-10 into a cell in calc, leave the cell, then return. Now press F2 to edit the cell. What date format have you in the edit bar? See attached screenshot for the mess that OOo is giving me.
[...] Hi,my locales are set system wide to fr_FR.UTF-8, and Ooo3 is set to use the system default in it's linguistic preferences, so if I type 22-11-2008 in calc's cell it gives me 22/11/2008 in the edit bar, and 22/11/08 in the cell (auto-formating).
If I change Ooo3 linguistic settings to "English USA" for the active document, it instantly changes the cells and the edit bar to the US format 11/22/2008 in both the cell and the edit bar.
I am talking about Ooo3 1:3.0.0-6 from Debian experimental. If it can help. Tom
