[TYPO3-dev] How to set locale for backend?

[Charles Brunet]

Hello,

Thank you for your answers. However, this is not the point. I know how to
use config.locale_all, 'fr_CA.utf8' is the right locale on my system, and I
know how to use the format.date ViewHelper to handle localized dates. All
of this works very well for frontend plugins.

My question is: is there a way in TYPO3 to set _backend_ locale? IMHO, I
shouldn't do it inside my extension, but there should be a configuration
for this somewhere. However, I wasn't able to find it. I think there should
be a global way to set this (apart from setting it in php.ini), and also
per user. If really this doesn't exist, I will open a ticket.

Thank you,

Charles.
