Date separators in French (Belgium)

Question

Hi, 
 When I use the shortcut "Ctrl + left click" on a date, Trados copies the date in the target segment and changes the date format according to the locale. If the target language is "French (Belgium)", it uses the format "dd-MM-YY". I want Trados to use the format "dd/MM/yyyy" for the dates but changing it the projet (and global) properties/options does not work. 
 When I select the format "dd/MM/yyyy" it shows as an example : "31-05-2015" which is wrong (see screenshot below). 
 How can I force to use slashes as date separators in French (Belgium) ? 
 PS : In French (France) it uses by default the slash as a separator 
 Thanks, 
 Vincent

Hi Vincent Dieltiëns 
 Studio draws on the information from your operating system for this. So you have three options I think; 
 
 Change the date format in your Regional Settings in Windows for this language; 
 Let Studio do it's thing and search and replace the dates afterwards with a little regex Search: (\d{2})-(\d{2})-(\d{4}) Replace $1/$2/$3 
 Use the Regex AutoSuggest Provider using the same patterns
