Windows 10: Region setting date format: can it use different locale/language?

Hi,

The region setting starts with a format, e.g. English United States.


In additional setting -> Date, we can set the format string for the date. For example, dddd,MMMM d, yyyy


Is it possible to force a different language for date?


Thanks

:)

 

Language Setting & Regional Format

Hi,



I have set my Country/Region to Netherlands and my Phone language to English (US). I would like to set my Regional format to Netherlands as well (Date and time format as well as the Euro) but it will show the weekdays in Dutch despite the English language
setting. Is this a bug or is this deliberate? Why is the language of the weekdays coupled to the Regional format setting and not to the Phone language which makes more sense. Any plan to change this in coming updates?



Cheers,

Sander

 

Language Setting & Regional Format

The weekday is part of the DATE. You told the DATE to be in a Dutch format. The weekday will not take from the display language because it's part of the DATE. Again, this is how most operating systems that calculate display language differently from regional
formats work. I do not represent Microsoft, but I can say with confidence this particular issue will not change on anyone's platform.

 

Locale for Lao language could not be found on Region Setting

I use a program written using Visual Objects Software. The compiler does not support Unicode for Thai and Lao languages. But for Thai, I could set the locale to Thai. But for Lao language, I could not find locale in the List of Current System Locale. So
my program displays text in non-readable format. Can anyone help me? How to make Lao Locale to be found on the List of Current System Locale in Region Setting Window?

Thank you.
