--- Comment #24 from Mauro Molinari <mauromol at tiscali.it> ---
Just to say that I came here because I really can't understand why
LibreOffice/OpenOffice should consider the default date format for Italian
locale to be dd/mm/yy, when the default in ANY software I've used so far
(including Windows and Linux operating systems) is rather dd/mm/yyyy. Here in
Italy the four-digit format is always used, both in long (like venerdì 7
febbraio 2020) and short notations. I can't find a rationale behind this
nowadays: only very very old electronic devices might still use the two-digit
year format, unless you customise recent software and devices to behave in this
way, of course.

It's really really annoying having to change it every time I enter dates in
Calc or import CSVs or alike, without the ability to change the default format
once and for all...
