Change date format in web forms

[mark_smithson]

On our install web forms render dates in american format MM/dd/YYYY.

Does anyone know how to change this to dd/MM/yyyy?

hmmm… there's definitely a bug somewhere here.  can you file an issue at issues.alfresco.com please?

as a workaround, i think it's because of a discrepancy in country definitions in locales being passed to alfresco.  is your browser's locale set to en_UK?  if so, perhaps try changing the Languages definition in web-client-config.xml from en_US to en_UK.
