Sorry for the delay, I have been swamped.
As already stated, OOo uses the Hebrew locale with UK style dates when
started with a he_IL environment.
What are UK style dates? yyyy-mm-dd?
dd/mm/yyyy
Stop insisting on modified defaults. It is not possible.
Why7 should I stop insisting on a critical feature for me, that other
people seem to have working?
I can't tell why it does not work for you. What you describe is not how
it is supposed to work. I can not reproduce the misbehaviour of US
defaults in a non-US environment.
All of my own spreadsheets use no dates other than ISO dates.
That is what I want.
I never see
any US style since I use either one of explicitly set British locale or
default locale with German OS. SO I see either UK dates or German dates. I
can override them with my prepared cell styles at any time, with very small
effort.
What OS / Desktop environment are you using? Maybe there is a Gnone
setting affecting OOo, and being on KDE I am not setting it right?
German OS (mostly Ubuntu). Some of my templates use explicit number
format locales in styles and Writer fields (mostly German Euro
currencies). I use to use a English(UK) application locale with dot
decimals and dd/mm/yy, overriding the German OS locale with comma and
dd.mm.yy.
My OOo shows US dates by default, even though that is not my locale
setting.
This is a misbehaviour I can not reproduce. There must be some reason for
this.
That is what I am trying to figure out.
Can anybody else reproduce this? All locale settings set "Default" with a
non-US OS locale showing US dates (12/31/09) in OOo documents?
Try a Hebrew number format locale for cell style "Default" and store the
modified document as default template.
File>Templates>Save...
File>Template>Organize... select saved template, command:"Set Default"
This is meant to be a workaround for your personal bug.
This workaround has the side effect that _any_ number that I enter
into a cell is converted into a date. I am sorry, this will not do.
Modify the number format _locale_ only, so you can enter d/m/y dates
rather than m/d/y.
