Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 7905
wrong date-format in norwegian language
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:55:29 UTC
This is the primary cause for issue 6132 - in my opinion. I am running Windows XP (former NT), norwegian version. I have downloaded OpenOffice, german version, and got a strange behavior with date-formats. OpenOffice treatet all dates in the format MM/DD/YY, which is not correct. I had not defined the language in the Option-settings, therefore OpenOffice considered system default (norwegian). When I defined german language explicit, the date format was changed to DD/MM/YY. My conclusion: The date-format definition for the norwegian language is not correct (should be DD/MM/YY).
Please see issue #10976. The proposed, corrected locale files will fix the date formats along with many other locale bugs.
