Here is an example of how I receive an email from my Portuguese translated Discourse website:

 ![19](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/2/4/24a2777c480e17df73b7c2b412698aa20965b55c.png)

The date format is `<month> <day>`, yet in Portugal we would use `<day> <month>`. In the admin menu I’ve searched for every date format I can find and switched them all to `<day> <month>` and the email doesn’t change.

In the body of the email, more specifically in the list of popular posts, another occurence of this can be seen:

 ![11](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/a/5a3d3040aba43ec79aff8ca1c01a2e23d21ec0b6.png)

The date (bottom right corner) is again in `<month> <day>` format.

Are there other date format settings specifically for email templates which I am not aware of?

Thank you.
