LC_TIME environment variable is ignored for date format
-
Virgil Dupras- State changed from new to accepted
I tried setting the LC_TIME variable to "en_DK.UTF-8" and start moneyGuru, and sure enough, the date format didn't change. A also tried to set the date format (In the "Languages" config panel in ubuntu) to "English (Denmark)" and the date format didn't change either.
Funnily enough, I also tried a date cell in OOO's Calc and it didn't follow the locale either. However, Ubuntu's filebrowser as well as the built-in photo viewer do follow the locale.

After investigation, it seems that the cause of this would be a QLocale problem with the
en_DKlocale. It just doesn't recognize it.QLocale.countriesForLanguage(QLocale.English)doesn't list Denmark.Rather than trying to fight with locale, it would be better to simply add a preference for date formats.
