Although I am Austrian, I prefer to use Ubuntu in English, while of course I do not want to miss my regional formats.
These are the current settings in /etc/default/locale
:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_AT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_AT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_AT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_AT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_AT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_AT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_AT.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_AT.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_AT.UTF-8"
And this is a screenshot of dolphin:
It shows American time formats. In Nautilus, time format lacks the year when the file was saved/created in current year and so on.
There does not seem to be a pattern on how applications show the date/time. Also finding some switch in the preferences of the respective application was in vain.
Only the date and time in the upper right hand corner of unity is correct. How come?
locale
command.
