I know you can set the default language when you create a site collection using powershell. However, if you don't specify this, it uses a default value. Where is this default value set?
I can't see anything in the SharePoint installation process for setting this? We are in Australia, but a lot of site collections are created with EN-US as the language. This has the effect of setting the locale settings to English - United States, which uses the "wrong" date format.
Default language is the language you installed the sharepoint server. I.e. If you base installation of sharepoint server is en-us than this will be default language value for all operations and for additional language support you have to install the language packs of that language.
