When creating Date placeholders in Document Composition, as of version 15, you can select the format for the long date. However, if I wanted to display the month in a different language (such as Spanish), there is no way I can accomplish this off the current options. Is there a way to format long dates according to Language settings? We are currently able to do it if we change the Regional Settings of the Application Server. But this changes the language in the Application Server as well, which results in pain when figuring out where to configure and/or change stuff. Please let me know if there are any workarounds, or if this could be an enhancement. Thanks!

Hello all,
If you need to translate into something other than your machine's local this can be accomplished by using date formats and conditions on the placeholders. Basically, create three placeholders for a single date value, with each assigned to a specific portion of the date (day, month, year.) You can do this by setting the display option on the placeholder for each section of the date.
Here's an example of each of the three placeholders with the corresponding date format listed below them:
Next, I added conditions to the Month placeholder to translate the numeric value into a string value of a language that is different from my machine's locale:
The result would look like: 04 février 2022
This does mean that you need three placeholders for every unique instance of a 'Date' being used, but this solution offers the flexibility to translate into any language you need to.
Thanks for the question, and I apologize for the delayed answer.
