tgganesh Date format
Hi All,
I want to display a date field in VisualForce Email template.
According to user locale language selection.. the date format should get change.
If an user is from US... date should display in MM/DD/YYYY format
For UK user date should display in DD/MM/YYYY format..
if am using {!Now()} in template... date format is changing according to locale.
I tried by giving the date field directly and am receiving the output "Thu Feb 23 00:00:00 GMT 2012."
I tried {!day(relatedTo.Datefield__c)}/{!month(relatedTo.Datefield__c)}/{!year(relatedTo.Datefield__c)}, here i have defined the format.. so its not getting change according to the locale...
Give me an idea to display date format according to the locale of user.
Hi All,
I found a solution for my prob... i need to display the date format according to language that i select.
i created custom label and mentioned the format in that..
using <apex:outputtext tag and <apex:param tag, i resolved my prob.
Eg:
Cutome label :EmailText
Language - English (UK)
Hi all,
My date format {2}/{3}/{4}
Email Template:
<apex:outputText value="{!$Label.EmailText}" escape="false">
<apex:param value="{!DAY(relatedTo.Email_Date__c)}"/>
<apex:param value="{!MONTH(relatedTo.Email_Date__c)}"/>
<apex:param value="{!TEXT(YEAR(relatedTo.Email_Date__c))}"/>
Output:
Hi all,
My date format 08/03/2012
We can add different format for different language in a single custom label.
Thus it works :)

Hi,
Here you can make use of format () method
Format (): Returns a Date time as a string using the supplied Java simple date format and time zone.
This example i have made use of locale as. (Dot) format
system.debug('@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@'+system.now());
system.debug('*****************'+system.now().format());
output:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@2012-02-23 05:34:00
*****************22.2.2012 21:34
