Changing the date and time format

The Xperience administration interface always displays date and time values according to the culture context, which depends on the preferred user interface culture of each user.

Xperience only determines the culture in which dates are displayed. The exact format of date and time values in the given culture is defined by the localization settings of the client operating system. The following are examples of a single date and time value in the formats of various cultures:

4/17/2015 1:00:00 PM (en-US)
17/04/2015 13:00:00 (en-GB)
17.4.2015 13:00:00 (cs-CZ)
2015/04/17 13:00:00 (ja-JP)

Allowing cultures for the administration UI

1. Open the Localization application.
2. Select the Cultures tab.
