WPF bindings default to en-US culture, so {0:g} format strings always showed American MM/dd/yyyy dates regardless of the user's system locale. Override FrameworkElement.LanguageProperty at startup to use the current thread culture. European users now see dd/MM/yyyy and 24-hour time. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
