Summary of the issue you are facing:
Hello Nextcloud forum!
Thank you for all your efforts on this amazing product.
I have small problem that is bugging me. I am hoping someone here knows the solution.
I am unable to change the date format from mm/dd/yyyy to dd/mm/yyyy
Calendar 4th of Feb:
Deck 5th of Feb:
Profile →Personal Info:
config.php locale settings that I’ve tried:
'default_locale' => 'nl',
'force_locale' => 'nl',
'default_locale' => 'nl_NL',
'force_locale' => 'nl_NL',
'default_locale' => 'en_GB',
'force_locale' => 'en_GB',
Same for the user locale (Also tried nl_NL en_GB):
./occ user:setting fhfs core locale
nl
I’ve also cleared the Firefox browser cache. I’ve also tried Edge instead of Firefox. Same results.
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
I am not sure how someone would replicate this problem.

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response
- Use the
preformatted textformatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output. - If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
- If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
- Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.
