Description tnemeth 2011-01-09 11:27:14 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.95) 
OS:                Linux

Since several versions, kdm does not displays the current date in the appropriate
format : it does not respect local ways of displaying the date. Actually it displays
(in strftime format string) :

%d %B, %a %Y

But in french it would be %a %d %B %Y -- or using %A in order to be consistent
with %B.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Look at the displayed date in a language that has a different format than english.

Actual Results:  
The date is displayed using the english format (but still in the correct language).

Expected Results:  
It should be displayed in the locale's date format.

KDM is unmaintained and not used in KDE Plasma 5.

SDDM is the login manager used in KDE Plasma 5. If you still have this same issue with SDDM, please file an issue on the SDDM bugtracker (after doing a search for existing issues first!): https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/
