English (GB) locale instead of English (US) for non-English browsers

[alekwisnia]

I'm not sure where to address the problem, but let't try here:

The documentation says that Splunk sets locale basing on browser language. It's fine, however if browser is not set to English (GB) but any foreign language (i.e. Polish), Splunk sets locale to English (US). This is pretty uncomfortable, as most of the World uses different time format than US. 

Is it possible to change this behaviour in Splunk settings? And could future Splunk releases use English (GB) by default?

Hi @alekwisnia 

I'm not sure how to change definitively the borwser language but I can suggest a little trick

after your splunk address check the language, in my case is italian (it-IT)

https://splunk-server/it-IT

to change the languange on your brower change with en-US

https://splunk-server/en-US

hope can help

Yes, I know that - however I have a number of instances, number of users. With scale it's pretty uncomfortable to manually change the locale.
