The OS X prefPane "International" lets you select from among various national date formats, or to set a "custom" format from its basic ingredients. However, there appears to be a bug in the prefPane such that if you set any one of the four date formats (known as Short, Medium, Long, and Full), the other three revert to (US?) default.
I'm trying to do this so I can maintain the ISO date format YYYY-MM-DD throughout the system and throughout apps that pick up the system date format. (Apple didn't include ISO as a standard alternative.)
I presume that the prefPane is simply a convenient interface to some file(s) where the desired format is really stored.
Question 1: can someone say where that file is, and if so whether/how it could be modified without going through the prefPane?
Question 2: Alternatively, a fix to the prefPane would be nice.
