The setting for date format is already under the 'res.language', so it *is*
stored in the server.
The algorithm of fetching this information, per session, into the GTK client
is what we are discussing about.

Title:
date format should be set in server instead of client
Status in OpenERP Server:
Confirmed
Bug description:
We are having a lot of trouble using date in dd.mm.yyyy format
(Romanian format), because on some computers the with win xp are set
to english us by default. Also when restoring from backup or any
change the windows gets back to english us, and a lot of things go
wrong.
Also I suspect some bugs around this issue but I cannot prove them.
The fact is that we have a lot of confusion going on.
I do not really see the benefit of having the client determining the
date format, because I can now connect from a lot of different devices
and then you need to be careful to have correct locale set.
I think that also for us system administrators would be much easy to
have it in the server.
Can somebody point me where I can change this in the code of the
client?
Thanks.
