[opencms-dev] How to change the date format?

[Carl Alex Friis Nielsen]

The date format used in the workplace changes according to the locale
you set the workplace to use in the preferences dialog.

The date format used when displaying content is by default depending
on the locale of the resource (possibly inherited).

Hey Christoph,

thanks for the fast reply.

I tried to change the browser properties. But nothing happened. 

I wanted to set a dateStyle but I actually have no idea in which file of OpenCms to do this.. There must be a dateStyle somewhere (OpenCms is using it) but where..?

I just saw that the format per default is MM.dd.YY This is very confusing for the users..

So if you - or someone else - have/has an idea... Thanks again
