GTK Gui on windows, how are the dates and languages chosen?

[SeanBoran]

The GUI GUI does not use the correct date or languages.

In the Openerp menu User > Preferences, language is set to English.

In the Windows Control Panel > Regional, the French Switzerland region is chosen, with a date format 28.01.2010.

But in Openerp:
. The menu language shown is French
. the date format is American (01/11/2010 for Jan 11)

In the Web interface the language is English (correct), but dates are American.

Gui is v5.0.6 - bzr from 20th Jan.

Hello,
Our R&D Teams are focused on the latest OpenERP version, and this issue does not seem to affect it.
Could you try with the latest development version (for example v6.0RC1 available on openerp.com), and reopen the bug if it is still present in it?
Our policy is to keep the changes applied on stable branches to a minimum, in order to limit the regression risks for customers that are in production. This means that bugs reported on Launchpad are fixed in the trunk branch only by default, even if they were reported against other stable versions.
We stand of course ready to backport the change to stable releases if it has an impact on any customer. In this case please report it to our maintenance team via the OpenERP Publisher's Warranty. They will quickly help solve the issue and backport the fix if needed.
Thank you for your understanding!

OpenERP 6 RC1 seems to handle this correctly, i.e.:

1. Go to Administration -> Translation -> Application Terms -> Languages.
2. Create a language, e.g. en_AU
3. Set the date format, e.g. %d/%m/%y
4. Set the Language for your User Preferences to the new language.
5. Restart your client.

Dates are now displayed in the Windows GTK client correctly.
