Symptom
You have configured a non-English regional settings and logon language. However, the date fields placeholder dd.MM.yyyy continues in English.
Environment
SAP Cloud for Customer
Reproducing the Issue
- Log in with a non-English language (I'll use German as example).
- Go to Activities work center, Tasks view.
- Click to create a new task.
- Erase any date field on Task Quick Create and see that the date format is dd.mm.yyyy and not TT.MM.JJJJ, which is maintained under user's settings.
Cause
The expected format is presented via technical term (Date format string), which is not a translatable text. This is accordingly with Unicode Common Locale Data Repository.
Resolution
This is the standard behavior of the system.
If you would like to see this behaviour changed in the system, you have two options below.
- You would like your company or an SAP Partner to implement the feature/functionality into your environment, e.g. by using the SAP Cloud Application Studio for custom coding
- You would like to wait for SAP to potentially add this feature / functionality into the Standard Product.

- DESIRABILITY: How many customers voted for this? How many customers will benefit from it?
- VIABILITY: Is this Improvement Request globally relevant? Is this in alignment with SAP’s strategy for the product?
- FEASIBILITY: Is the development effort realistic? Is this request achievable within the product’s architecture?
