The locale format determines the format of dates, decimal numbers, and currency volumes in the resulting document. If your clients or freelancers work in different countries their locale format is very likely different from yours. To make templates display the correct date and time format, correct digit grouping or decimal separator symbols, and so on, configure the locale settings and set the desired format.
There are two ways of configuring the locale format:
1. In the Projetex Workstation (for each client and freelancer individually):
open the Client or Freelancer window and click the Main tab;
click the Locale Format button in client's profile;
select Custom Values in the drop-down list at the top;
configure the code in Short Date Format and/or Long Date Format to include 4-5 capital M letters (like dd.MMMM.YYYY).
Note: The Long Date Format is used for "long” date variables: \DATE_DUE_LONG\, \INVOICE_DATE_LONG\, and so on. the settings in Short Date Format will affect regular variables, like \DATE_DUE\, \INVOICE_DATE\, and so on.
2. In the Windows Control Panel (these settings are used as default in Projetex):
open the Windows Control Panel and double-click Regional and Language Options
click the Customize button on the Regional Options tab and click the click the Date tab
configure the long (or short) date format options to include 4-5 capital M letters (like dd.MMMM.YYYY). To remove the day of the week from view, delete the extra "d" letters, so that no more than 2 "d-s" are present in the code string.
