Confluence calendar on cloud to start with Sunday instead of Monday

Sudheer Revuru September 21, 2020

As a confluence administrator, I want to change the calendar week start from Sunday instead of Monday so that confluence calendar will be in sync with US standard calendar.  

I confirm that language configuration in confluence settings are changed to English (US) and also my browser (chrome) language settings are English (United States).

I was just struggling with this on my private instance and this question popped out.

Here's an open feature suggestion for it: CONFCLOUD-40619: Allow first day of the week to be configured in date picker

Hi @Sudheer Revuru,

I found the following in the Addon documentation

Can I change the starting day of the week?

The Team Calendars follows per user language preferences to decide which day is at the start of the week. For example, if you want to make the start of the week to Sunday (US Calendar), you would need to install the US Language pack and edit your Confluence user preferences to choose US English. To do this, click User name > Settings > Edit > Language and then choose US English

Note: The Confluence default is to Automatically detect browser settings.

Cheers,

Pavel

@Pavel Junek thanks for the response. My user settings is already using US English as the language. Also, the confluence language settings is set to US English but still the calendar is starting from Monday & not Sunday.

Hi Sunheer,

I just tried setting up a Confluence user profile (that didn't help), but to change the calendar you need to have your web browser language set correctly, ie English (UK) or English (US).

Oh, I tried the setup on MacOS and Safari - it works for me there. But the same settings for Google Chrome are a problem. Unfortunately, I couldn't set it up there.

I tried on Chrome, Firefox, latest edge browser. All browsers are set to English (US) but the confluence calendar is starting from Monday.

I checked every language/culture setting I could find and even rebooted though it shouldn't matter beyond the website-selected culture.  I even switched to UK English and back to US English.  I cannot find either an overriding culture setting or a specific calendar setting.
