Actually simon that is not how you should do it because it will break stuff.
The data format appears in two places: - web2py.js for the popup calendar - the IS_DATE(), IS_DATETIME() validators. They have to be the same in both. They are always wrapped in a T(...) so all you should need to do it add the proper translation for the for strings using the languages interface. You should not change it for all languages. if you really want to change for all languages, as you did. make sure you also change it in the validators otherwise it will break for visitors with different language settings.
