[Solved] Months in different languages for date expressions

1
Topic starter

Hi

We use date expressions to calculate one month back from the date for only output the month and the year. If we use the MMMM date format, the name of the month will shown in the server's language. Is it possible to influence the language in the expressions?

Here is the expression we used:

<<DATE('<<DATEADD('%PROPERTY_{EAB2B9D9-809E-49A5-9FA6-4EA5C2802F8C}%','-1','MONTHS')>>','MMMM yyyy')>>

 

Here is the result:

March 2024

Hi @steve-hagenbring, we don't have that option. As you said, it's tied to the server language.

@alandebijadi Which specific server language are you referring to? Would it be possible to modify this, or is there a 'global' setting available for changes in the EK (or the Windows Server local)?

In your documentation you write:

Format specifiers that can be used in these expressions are the default C# format specifiers, as specified in  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/base-types/custom-date-and-time-format-strings .

Looks like there are some options available for the language

That's why we were asking.
