I have an Apex routine that generates a formatted date for an Event, e.StartDateTime.format('MMM d, YY').

When logged in as a French user, the Month format is not changed to a French abbreviation.  Is there a way to accomplish this?

 

Hi,

 

I'm having trouble coming to terms with the fact that according to the documentation: customers can disable data validation rules in a managed package.

If I'm reading this right, the validation rule can literally be turned off. This effectively "invalidates" data by permitting users to skirt rules they find annoying... As a developer of an app, I need to ensure it functions correctly with the right source data - how can I do this if the very method of validating my data is avoidable?

 

Honestly, I just can't believe this could happen, and I'm hoping I'm mis-interpreting it...

 

So, if this is the case, how am I supposed to validate my applications data?
