Hi Rolf,
Thanks for the reply, but changing KDE locale didn't change the DateChooser display.

I am writing an application to generate the Bible Calendar for this year and more.
The user plugs in dates of New Moons sightings to generate a current Biblical month.

The user selects (Monday-Sunday DateChooser) new moon dates on DateChooser,
then the Biblical Calendar is generated and displayed (Sunday-Sabbath).
It doesn't change the generated calendar results - but it can confuse the users.
Thanks, Tom
