- mnau 2y agoDidn't they fixed it? https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/OfficeDocs-SkypeForBusiness/commit/2d4c712f3d45c73eb5b1a8d1e06ee9b8b00280b8 https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/OfficeDocs-SkypeForBusiness...
- n_plus_1_acc 2y agoIIRC, they fixed most of the date displays, but not inside Planner and maybe the search results.
- magicalhippo 2y agoI absolutely hate that they've reduced it to a single "regional settings". Just because I don't want Norwegian text everywhere does not mean I want dates and time to be displayed in some weird way. However I also utterly despise the Norwegian official way of writing decimal numbers with , rather than . as the decimal separator. We've had fine-grained control over this for ages, apps can handle it fine, just let us get it the way we want it.
- jiggawatts 2y agoThis is configurable in Windows. Your location, keyboard(s), display language, and date/numeric formats are all separate settings. You can even use emoji as date separators if you please.
- shakna 2y agoI'd rather that be configurable per-app. Because not all programs are used for all workflows.
- magicalhippo 2y agoYes, for Win32 applications, which worked just perfect for ages like I said. However, for the newfangled "apps", they take the regional settings entirely based off your default keyboard layout!
- ahoka 2y agoThat’s not how it works. You are probably adding two locales instead of two keyboards under a single locale. Yes, it’s confusing, I know.
- magicalhippo 2y agoIt is on Windows 10 which I run at home. On Windows 11 which I use at work they changed it to the way you say. But even then it didn't work to simply have English locale and Norwegian and US keyboard layouts under it. I can't recall what they messed up right now, but I fought Windows 11 for quite some time. Finally settled on English locale with US keyboard layout, and Norwegian locale with Norwegian keyboard layout, which mostly works in terms of keyboard layout, but now my Weather app is showing Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, despite my regional settings being Norwegian. Like, how hard can it be to just not fuck it up? They had it working fine for decades!
- roelschroeven 2y agoThe shortcuts next to the menu items in LibreOffice apps show me French translations, e.g. "Ctrl+Maj+Espace" for "Ctrl+Shift+Space" even though my language is set to Dutch everywhere (and other texts in LibreOffice are properly translated to Dutch). Apparently it has to do with me using Azerty keyboard layout. I use Belgian Azerty, not French Azerty. Yes, it's confusing.
- n_plus_1_acc 2y agoAnd Teams ignores those settings. And your settings in MS365, sometimes.
- rlkf 2y ago"English (Ireland)" seems to be the closest thing to a sane locale out of the box (could have wished for ISO-8601 dates, but I guess you can't have everything).
- netsharc 2y agoThat reminds me of the spotlight bar on a Mac that could also do maths, except that if you used . instead of the regionally correct decimal separator ",", it would ignore it, so e.g. 123.7 + 4.50 became 1687.
