I went back and re-read the documentation on this setting (emphasis mine): --- <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#date-format> **The default formatting to use for displaying date fields in any part of the system.** Note that if USE_L10N is set to True, then the locale-dictated format has higher precedence and will be applied instead. See allowed date format strings. --- >From my experience this does not seem to be the case. As best I can tell, it is only the default formatting to use for displaying dates in templates. When dates are displayed through other means (such as string formatting), this format sepcification is ignored. This is what I find confusing and what I hope I could fix. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
