------- Additional comments from dotanco...@openoffice.org Mon May 3 21:03:01 +0000 2010 ------- > Editing does not default to US format. I concede that you are right. On my test system the locale was configured for LANG=en_US.utf8 and LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8. Changing the LC_TIME did not affect the cell's number format, but changing LANG did. To clarify: when entering "YYYY-MM-DD" into a cell, the formatting of the cell for both display and for inline editing became that associated with LANG: "DD/MM/YY" for en_US and "DD/MM/YY" for he_IL. The formula bar showed YYYY in place of YY. Therefore, one issue is that OOo is using LANG for setting time, not using LC_TIME. I will search for a bug on that and report it if necessary. > It takes the locale from the > cell's number format, which by default is the system locale, and then > uses that locale's date-editing format, as defined in our list of > locale data. Our list? Where is that list? Why isn't LC_TIME being used for this? > As indicated by the summary, this issue is only about special treatment > for ISO 8601 format. This is in fact the format that I am interested in. Quick experimenting in Calc shows that only the Hungarian and Lithuanian locales in OOo use the YYYY-MM-DD format, and they both suffer from other issues where I would not use them. I suppose that a dedicated ISO 8601 locale would be a workaround, but the fix would involve (as I see it) using LC_TIME for the editing format.
