Hello Klass,
Please remember that Chandler is only in its .6 release and is still
under development. In .6 we put in much of the i18n infrastructure. But
much is still to be done.
Determining the custom locale Operating System settings on the three
platforms we support OS X, Windows 2000 / XP, and Linux is no trivial task.
This task will be tackled in our next (.7) release.
However, we do provide a command line option for starting Chandler with
a specific locale.
%> ./release/RunChandler --locale=da_NL
This should format date / time etc in the manner appropriate for your
locale.
However, no Danish translation of Chandler is available at this time
and the mini-calendar on the lower left hand corner which is a widget
written in c has not yet been localized.
The translation mechanism and min-cal localization are also coming in .7.
I also just checked in code today that will determine the locale set of
the Operating System.
So if you want to pull the Chandler source from our svn repository I
would welcome your confirmation that it does the correct behavior on
your computer.
In .7 we will add more advanced code that can get all the details from
the OS including custom date, time, numeric, and currency formats
specified by the user in the Operating System preferences.
If you are interested in helping us with a Dutch translation of Chandler
we would welcome your participation.

Hello,
I started Chandler for the first time yesterday, and was
amazed that the program somehow did not recognize the
settings of the System Preferences for dates etc.
For a calender application it is essential that the date
is given as one is locally used to. 1-2-2006 means to me
the 1st day of February, while the program wanted to show
me the 2nd day of January.
This is set in the System Preferences of OS X. So I looked
for a setting in Chandler, couldn't find it. Yhis setting
should of course automatically be used.
So that concluded my tests
