Events: Timestamp is in English, how to change?

Our community is in Finnish and when I create an Event timestamp is in English. I cant find anywhere to change this, is it possible? I mean the Event page and Calendar as well.

    Oh, I see.

    Here’s my theory 🕵️‍♀️

    I think the language of those date & time entries are tied to your browser language (or the language set as default on your computer). 
    So if yours is set as English, it will be displayed in English.

    If your users have their computer/browser set on Finnish, they will see it in Finnish too. I’m sure you can test that out.

    I just changed the language of my browser to German, and the date&time of our english-speaking community automatically switched to german. 

     

     

    This issue occurs in desktop only:

    In mobile that timestamp is in Finnish.

    Let me guess, is your cellphone language set to Finnish? 🕵️‍♀️

    Cheers,
    Daniele

    Haha, you were right! It was the browser, after I changed the language now timestamps are in Finnish.

    I have to say that I have used computers for “some” years, I havent ever changed that setting to browser. I didnt know it even exist 😂

    Yeah, my mobile is in Finnish.

    Thanks a lot @Daniele Cmty
