Quoting Martin Edenhofer : OK; I've been discussing this on other lists for other applications. I think it'd be better (2.0?) if each user could, regardless of language choice, choose his/her short date, long date, and time formats. I don't think the language has anything to do with these things. I *always* try to use English-language applications (OS, apps, utilities, books, etc); but I am Swedish and I live in Sweden, so I want the formatting of time and dates to be according to what we use here. But I'll modify this in the english language file for now; thanks! -joho

I have not been able to find a way to modify the way a DATE and a TIME is displayed, is it possible to change the formatting of these in OTRS 1.3.1?

What I want is "YYYY-MM-DD" for dates, and "HH:MM" (24h) for time. Alternatively, I'd like "WWW, MMM DD YYYY" for dates ("Fri, Oct 01 2004").

This is a tranlsation option. For example:

[Kernel/Language/en.pm]

# date formats (%A=WeekDay;%B=LongMonth;%T=Time;%D=Day;%M=Month;%Y=Jear;) $Self->{DateFormat} = '%D.%M.%Y %T'; $Self->{DateFormatLong} = '%A %D %B %T %Y'; $Self->{DateInputFormat} = '%D.%M.%Y'; $Self->{DateInputFormatLong} = '%D.%M.%Y - %T';
