Well, there exists this Install setting:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['ddmmyy']

but it does not say how to format time and is normally set to something 
like 'd.m.Y' which is not localized. If extensions use this information 
to format dates, then you're done but if not I do not know any other 
global option.
