    updateDate field in us format

    Dear Umbraco Team

    how can you change the 'updateDate' field to render date and time in UK format instead of the default US format on a view ?

    Thanks Dibs

    The format of the updateDate rendered is based on what language and culture you have set up for your site in Culture And Hostnames.

    So if i write this line of code:

    @CurrentPage.updateDate

    And set my site culture to English (United States) it will render:

    4/19/2016 1:05:43 PM

    But if i change the language for my site to English (United Kingdom) it will render:

    19/04/2016 13:05:43

    Languages are set up in Settings, then right click on your home node and select the desired language. See image:

    enter image description here

    Best of luck to you!!

    Or if you want you can just force the date to be en-GB in your view by:

    @using System.Globalization
 @CurrentPage.updateDate.ToString(new CultureInfo("en-GB"))
