I also always suggest to open a support ticket with SB and maybe link to the topic. Chances are you wait weeks for an answer or not get one at all, but once I actually got an official acknowledgment of the bug and even a bug ID. Doesn’t hurt anyways.

Looks like nothing doing on resolving this anytime soon - here is my reply from Steinberg:

Technillay it is a bug, not a limitation. Just fix it,

In other words: The US and German time formats are bugs? Hmm, you sure?
The US format, yes.

You might not like the US date format and I am no fan of it, too. However, “technically speaking” it is correct and most definetly not a bug:
For what it’s worth, personally, I prefer the international standard (year/month/day) and that’s the only format I ever use whenever I deal with files of any sort and so do all clients I work with.
I don’t accept this. The date info can be manipulated via the CultureInfo Class (C++ and C#) in the standard Window API. I use it all the time.

If your computer is set to display dates in that format, there is no reason why Cubase can’t display dates in that format. See my post above. (I assume MacOS has similar functionality.)

Interesting approach @Googly_Smythe !
Have you checked if it affects the date format in the hub?
System.Globalization is part of the .net runtime, not an in-box system API.
But there are certainly ways to display the date based on the system settings using just base APIs, so your uber point is correct.

Thanks for the clarification! I’m a worse programmer than I am a musician…
No, but what I’m saying is that it shouldn’t be hard to have localised date formats. I mean, Cubase is localised for a few languages, why not dates? A small thing, but it can cause confusion, and maybe serious errors.
I have no clue how/if this is connected or not. We don’t know what’s going on under the hood so your guess is as good as mine.
Maybe, there’s a workaround around the corner. But I leave that to more knowledgeable people than me.
Would be nice since the date format seems to bother a lot of people.
Dates can be critical: 05/11/2025 - is that November? Or May?
I like dates to be sortable - year/month/date.

May, of course! 
As a “worthless ‘merican”, that is the only format that has ever made sense to me … month/day/year. I never realized that the rest of the world uses other formats until recently. I do hope Steinberg can remedy this situation for the “other” folks!
