I concur, CF server always assumes English (US) as the default locale
irrespective of OS settings which means that all us Europeans have to ensure
that we use the locale specific settings to ensure that our dates are
treated appropriately. This can be a real pain as it's a common stumbling
block for most CF newbies. It would be nice to be able to set once and for
all the locale in one place and have CF treat all dates correspondingly from
then on. On the same note, something which has always bugged me is why do we
need to have separate date functions for the US than for the rest of the
world (ParseDateTime() and LSParseDateTime() )? Surely one set of functions
would suffice which are all locale specific. Similarly why do we have
DollarFormat() and LSCurrencyFormat() when the latter is quite capable of
supporting the former?
