That does not affect OOo, I think.
Why should it not? I agree with John, that if it's set here, it should be global.
Because OOo reads the "locale" environment variables instead. Notice that there are more than one "desktop": there is gnome, there is fwmn... each one with its own settings.
What does the command "locale" say? Mine says:
en_US.UTF-8
and if I leave OOo at "default" the same date as above shows as "11/26/05", ie, US locale.
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
Now why is this? KDE Control Center has Country or Region pointing to India with all the previews at the bottom in the appropriate Indian format.
Yes, probably kde should alter the locale environment variables, but it doesn't, it seems.
Therefore, either correct your system/user locale (it can be different for each user, mind!), or simply tell OOo what is the exact "locale" you want.
My point was, when I set OOo to "default" locale and I specify the active locale to be India, then why does not OOo behave as such? I will check this in Windows, and if same problem there too (or even if not) I will report it as an OOo issue.
I think it is rather a kde issue. It would be interesting to know what the OOo developers think and why they did it that way: I'm sure they have thought about it a lot. In windows, I dunno. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD4DBQFDiwajtTMYHG2NR9URAlJMAJdloLqByJ4g4umo1dxzUxIMIsUEAJ4jmnl6 IiPJemzdBP49p0UVp0MI/A== =qmpT -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
