I confirm this. Yes, I live in Germany, I am German and Spanish, but I like much more better American English as Desktop Language, mainly because of less translation errors. But as region I use Ireland, which is also European, has the € and has like in Germany the same date format like Australian and Canadian. Because of almost same time zone I prefer it and it has a point between integers and decimal numbers (as most software is written mainly first in US format, I prefer point than comma (and comma is usual in Germany, Spain, France, Italy and surely many other countries in Europe, too)). But then in terminal and nautilus I have this annoying US format (e.g.: 7/27/2025 instead 27/7/2025). Interesting that in nautilus at least it should work with UK, which have no € and because of this autocratic president of Russia Putin they neither are European (many evidences exist that Putin influenced the democatic vote in England (not whole UK! They may not vote although they are part of it!)). But ok, in Ubuntu the setting for region hopefully does not influence which money symbol is used as default.

(24.04.2 LTS) I'm pretty certain I did not have this issue in 22.04.5 LTS (I would have noticed) Essentially my Settings are for DD/MM/YYYY but Nautilus show MM/DD/YYYY and bash MMM/DD my locale settings are definitely AU: locale LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_AU:en LC_CTYPE="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_AU.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_AU.UTF-8" echo $LANG responds en_AU.UTF-8 but curiously echo $LC_TIME respond with "" (nothing) which seems odd after export LC_TIME=en_AU.UTF-8 then echo $LC_TIME responds with en_AU.UTF-8 but still no change in nautilus and bash date formats ... $ lsb_release -rd No LSB modules are available.
