I would like the backend language for my users to be english (en-GB), but I would like swedish (sv-SE) for date and currency formatting. How can I control this in Umbraco? Seems like Umbraco always uses the same value for both.
In web.config I have specified culture="sv-SE" uiCulture="sv-SE" and in Umbraco I have assigned the user "English (uk)" as language. I have also used the "manage hostnames" function and set the language for the site to "Swedish (Sweden)"
This has no effect, date and currency in Umbraco still does not show up as sv-SE. I believe maybe you can't separate the user culture from the language in Umbraco, they are always the same?
uiculture vs. culture in backend

Hi,
you can set the language for users in the properties of the user.
For the front-end, you have 2 options. First: you can assign a language if you use 'manage hostnames' on your home-node.
Secondly, you can add culture="sv-SE" to the globalization in the web.config.
HTH,
