Thanks, Ian")* Hi, Yes ; using a translation override you can change it. The two keys are: Code: HIKASHOP_DATE_FORMAT HIKASHOP_EXTENDED_DATE_FORMAT Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

Would it be an idea to put this in the documentation somewhere, or even better make it a configuration option,as I'm sure a lot of users are going to want to change this?

Thanks, Ian")* You can change the translation via the Languages tab of the configuration. We did it like that because when you have a multilingual website, the format of the date needs to be different for the different languages.
