Changing date format

[p133mmx]

Hello!

I noticed that date format is wrong while using Gnumeric.

"locale" command gave me the output that "LC_TIME="en.US.UTF-8". I want it to be Turkish date format.

How can I change date format to Turkish in whole system?

System: Lubuntu 11.10.

I'm not sure what you want to do. If you want to change your system time and time zone it can be done from
System Tools->Time and Date.

In Gnumeric you can define and use your own date format (Menu Format).
It, of course, don't change date format in whole system by this way.

Time & Date in some installs is in Preferences. Time and Date in the panel can be changed by right clicking and choosing "Digital Clock" Settings. Some of the code is
%a week-day [Friday]
%b month [Sept]
%d day [02]
%I:%M:%S time [4:06:59]
Other code can be obtained by putting

Code: Select all

 man strftime

in the terminal.

Thank you for your replies. I will try to explain my problem better.

I need to change the date (and also number and currency) format of my system's locale.

Let me give some examples:

In US date format it is month/day/year
I want it to be day/month/year

In US locale, separator for decimals is "." : 56.40
I want it to be ",": 56,40

I think what you want can be found in Preferences->Language Support->Regional Formats.
Make your change and reboot. The changes will take effect after the reboot.
