Date Picker no longer set to Monday On European Languages

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      Summary:

      In Confluence 5.8, when using the German Language pack, the date picker:

      • Has Monday as the first day of the week
      • Days are displayed in German

      However, In Confluence 5.9 and above, when using the German Language pack, the date picker:

      • Has Sunday as the first day of the week
      • Days are displayed in English
      Notes:

      Checked in confluence-language-pack-de_DE-5.10.0.rc1-v2r12978-2016-06-06.jar/i18n/aui_de_DE.properties noticed the line
      ajs.datepicker.localisations.first-day was set to 1,

      ajs.datepicker.localisations.first-day=1
      

      which supposed to set the day picker to start on Monday. However, the date picker still shows Sunday as the first day of the week

      Most of European countries start the week with Monday, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week.

      Workaround:

      No workaround yet

            [CONFSERVER-43385] Date Picker no longer set to Monday On European Languages

            Lindsay added a comment -

            When the default language is U.S. English, the date picker sets Monday as the first day of the week. It would be helpful if the date picker starts the week on Sunday when the default language is U.S. English, and here is an issue representing that request:
            https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-56043

            This is very similar to this issue – just for a different language. It would be better for the first day of the week to change based on the default language than require a modification of the .jar files.

            Chiming in; US (English) deployment, upgraded this past weekend from v5.8.4 to v6.6.0, same issue. Formerly we had Sunday as first day of week in the Date Picker widget, now we have Monday as the first day. Given that the Confluence installer does not migrate certain settings (server.xml, web.xml, some third-party libraries), we'd prefer this setting be exposed via the UI instead of needing to hack the language pack JAR files.

            Hi Adam,

            I reapplied the language pack since the first day is now officially set on Monday (instead of manually changing it in the .jar).

            It took several hours but now the date picker shows Monday again as first day of the week.

            We are running version 6.3.1

            HI beheer1754962366, which version are you running. The date picket issue per this issue was only recently fixed in 6.2.4 and 6.3.1

            As Adam has done for the Russian language I changed it for the Dutch language here.

            However it seems that the issue still persists in the Dutch language pack, I manually changed the first day of the week in the .jar file but sunday is still the first day of the week instead of monday.

            e.naidenov, i have changed first day of the week to Monday for Russia here, once upvoted it will be the default first day of week from Confluence 6.4.

            There is a German proverb for this:

            Es geschehen noch Zeichen und Wunder...

            (Miracles do happen!)
