Hi Ian,

Perfect.  Have you tried changing the formatting in the specific language pair settings:

Could you show us how to do this with SDL Trados Studio 2019? Things have changed and you don't have the same options as shown above.

I agree with Adrian Kominski. It is high time that SDL remove this feature. We are not supposed to ADD days of the week that are not in the source.

It's exactly the same in 2019 as it has been in previous versions.  Here's a screenshot from 2019:

Then don't use the option for long dates that adds the day of the week.

The day we remove this is the day we find out how many people use it. It seems to be fairly standard to have these long date formats in most countries and apart from you and Adrian I have never seen anyone complaining out the fact they are there as optional formats.

The real problem in the past has been the fact that it was enabled by default, which is ridiculous given that - contrary to what you're suggesting - it is definitely NOT standard to have the verbal day of the week before the date (what would be the purpose of that anyway?). Maybe it's standard in classified CIA reports, but I never translated those in my 8 years' experience.

At present it is not the default setting (or is it?), which is great, and I am positive nobody's missing it.
