Wrong date format in TM system fields

Question

We are experiencing some odd behaviour of Studio 2021 when saving translations to a TM. On dates where -considering the plain numbers only- day and month are impossible to tell apart unless you know the date format, e.g. days 1-12 in June, Studio is saving translation units with some system fields in the wrong date format. So now we have TUs for different clients in several TMs and probably all working languages that were created in the future. For the moment this does not seem to be a big deal. However, there is a reason the data is gathered. So, we cannot predict when this might become a real problem. 
 Is this the first time someone reports this kind of behaviour? Does someone know what the cause may be? 
 Thanks in advance for looking into this. Here are some screenshots, first of the SDLXLIFF and then of the TM info within Studio. Opening the SDLTM with an SQLite Browser led to the same findings.

Hello, 
 Both issues are the same, but they have been implemented in different versions: CRQ-29503 was addressed for Trados Studio 2021 CU11 and CRQ-25970 for Trados 2022.

Hello @Luciano 
 I haven't seen this reported by anyone so far. 
 Is this happening in only selected system fields (created/modified on) or in all system fields? 
 Are the TU's generated by the same translator or by different translators, maybe based in different countries? 
 If you create a test project and TM- do you notice the same behaviour?

Hi Luciano , 
 I believe that the date format in the SDLXLIFF is right. 
 Regarding the date format shown by Trados, I believe it has to do with the Windows settings. What are your settings if you go to Settings > Region ? 
 These are mine, and I've played a bit with this date format and I can confirm that Trados follows this settings. 
 
 ☛ If you change the date format, you may need to restart your PC or Trados.

Hello, 
 This is a defect in Studio logged as CRQ-25970. Currently the development team is still looking into this and we do not have a fix date confirmed.

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
