Nouman Farooq 6

I have following adaptive card
So when i change browser language it show the date and time and localized format but when i change my system's timezone locally it doesn't show me the date and time in localized format
I'm referencing to this article
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/adaptive-cards/authoring-cards/text-features

{
    "$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
    "type": "AdaptiveCard",
    "version": "1.0",
    "body": [
        {
            "type": "TextBlock",
            "text": "Your package will arrive on {{DATE(2017-02-14T06:00:00Z, SHORT)}} at {{TIME(2017-02-14T06:00:00Z)}}",
            "wrap": true
        }
    ]
}

This is byDesign Behavior.
We use the localization date/time format of the language selected in the Teams desktop app, not the local desktop. This is by design.

If the developer switches the language of their app, then the date and time format should be aligned with the country of origin.

@Sayali-MSFT I have tried switching application language from here

But this also doesn't work. Date/time remains in default language+format ie English (United States)

@Sayali-MSFT , we also have this problem where the date format and time zone ends up being wrong no matter which language is chosen in the Teams app or browser.

Here's an example:
See the When field which is "2023-06-06T07:21:19Z".
Teams shows "06/06/2023 07:21:19" in browser and desktop app with different languages.
The correct date format should be "2023-06-06" for Norwegian.
The correct time should be "09:21:19" as our time zone is CEST (UTC+2).

Norwegian language in Teams

English (US) language in Teams

System locale

Get-WinSystemLocale LCID Name DisplayName ---- ---- ----------- 1044 nb-NO Norwegian Bokmål (Norway)

Versions

Teams 1.6.00.12455 (64-bit)

Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2 Build19045.2965
