Is it possible to use my locale's date/time format? All the Insert/Date and TIme and Insert/Field: Date and Time options are in English although my locale is FInnish (fi-FI).
The problem is that the date separator should be . (point), not / (slash). In Insert/Date and Time the first and second options are (using today's date) 04/15/02 Monday, April 15, 2002 They should be (in Finnish) 15.04.2002 Maanantai, 15. huhtikuuta 2002 As you can see, the default date separator should be . and the default order should be dd.mm.yyyy Is there any way to use Finnish month and day names? The funny thing is when I choose Insert Field/Date and Time/Time Zone I get "Suomen kes�aika", which is correct (Finnish summer time) Is this some kind of configuration problem or can't we localize date/time? I am using Win95B and Control Panel/Regional settings are correct (FInnish; date separator is '.', default date format is dd.mm.yyy). Another reason why I ask this is: In fi-FI.strings file there are FIELD_DateTime.. strings. As a FInnish locale translator I should translate them into Finnish. I could do that, but it would be misleading because I allways get the english version format. IE. FIELD_DateTime_Wkday="The Weekday" should be FIELD_DateTime_Wkday="Viikonp�iv�" (I can't get 100% - correct - translation ;) When I try that command I get "Monday". I should get "Maanantai". I could define FIELD_DateTime_DDMMYY="dd/mm/yy" as FIELD_DateTime_DDMMYY="dd.mm.yy" but I still get 15/04/02, not 15.04.02 and so on. I hope this should just work. It seems rather stupid that you have Insert/Date and time dialogue but you can't insert your language's correct date formats (time format separator : is OK, the same in FInnish). I hope I am missing something obvious here. Sorry if I sound a little frustrated. -- Ismo M�kinen
