There should be a dedicated option for choosing the locale independent from the language.

There is a common use case, that people want to use software in english, but they don't want MM/DD/YYYY or a weekstart on Monday.

In iOS you can just choose a different language and locale:

    Yes, and that region format should be used by the Calendar, instead of having its own settings. :)

    The calendar uses the language at the moment 🙈
    We already ditched the checkbox for 12/24 and start of week for good.

    @jancborchardt What are your requirements for this feature? :)

    What is the region dropdown going to look like?
    A list of all countries?

    For reference this is what the dialog looks like in GNOME.
    grafik

    and both are basically a list of a locales available on the system.

    moment.locales() gives a list of all available locales in moment.js

    ["en", "af", "ar-ly", "ar-ma", "ar-sa", "ar-tn", "ar", "az", "be", "bg", "bn",  ...]

    We just need to map the array elements:

    en => United States (english)
de => Germany (german)
de-at => Austria (german)

    We probably want to filter the list though. It contains as much as 107 elements.

    Exactly, it should be directly together with the language dropdown, and default to the same as the language.

    Youhou!! :D
    Also: why not have an option for h24 and monday? I think it would be easier to understand that choosing a locale (since even around me people uses different way to say the date/time)

    I would also like to put my vote in for 24 h clock settings and Monday start of week without needing to change locale settings. I am in the US and work in a medical setting. We use US date format, 24 hr clock, and Monday start of week.

    I would also prefer to have date, time, and start-of-week settings independent of the Locale setting.
    I'd like to be able to set a 24 hour clock, yyyy-mm-dd, and Monday as start-of-week.

    Hello! This issue seems to be closed on github, however I don't see how I can select 24h, Monday week start or iso format anywhere in nextcloud 16.0.8. Am I just blind or is it not there?

    My workaround is setting my local as English(Ireland). That gets you 24 hr clock with Monday week start. Stuck with European date format, but I can live with that.

    I don't understand what got merged here, but it's still impossible to select ISO-8601 (yyyy-mm-dd) date formats, 24h time, week starting monday, English strings in NC 19.0.4. Is there another issue that I missed?

    Ok, I've just opened #24134 which, once fixed, should finally give us English ISO-8601.

    Can we just have separate settings for that instead of making people use en_DK? Are we sure there is a locale that use 24h for each language that Nextcloud supports, or do we only care about English?

    agreed can we just have independent options? how do i figure out how to get 24hours, dd/mm/yyyy date format and weeks that start on mondays? feels like i have to test all the locales one by one.......

    In latest NC20, one can select the language and locale independently.

    I have both english language, and Norwegian locale - giving me:

    16.12.2020 13:29:22
Week starts on Monday

    as date-format, and all the text in english.

    @davralin cool thanks that's rather close to what i want, i would rather have / instead of . for example
    that said i'll probably switch the norwegian locale for the time being

    Indeed, that's weird, from my activity-feed:

    You moved 12 to 2020     5 dager siden

    First part is english, second part is norwegian.

    8 years and still no way to start the week on monday but keep an english locale ?
    Did I miss something please ?
    EDIT : Nevermind. Choosing English (British English) as a workaround will do for now. I don't mind the date format.
