German weekdays abbreviated?

Support

I made a watchface and put “#DE#.” into the date field to show the abbreviated version of the name of the day. I works in english in the preview but on my german watch it is not abbreviated correctly. Instead of “Mo.” for Montag (Monday) I get “Mo…” with 3 dots which indicates the textbox is cut of but I made it really big so it shouldn’t be a problem. As i said, the preview works fine (shows “Tue.” in the preview for Tuesday).

Anyone got an idea what I might need to add or is this just something that doesn’t work?

Not on my laptop but try unticking the Fixed Width tickbox for the text, that won’t show … then ok :+1:

I am not sure why you get the extra dots there, but if you want to force the German (or any other locale) version on the face, you can “hardcode” the letters it will show for individual days with formula like this:
$#DOW#==1?Mon:$$#DOW#==2?Die:$$#DOW#==3?Mit:$$#DOW#==4?Don:$$#DOW#==5?Fre:$$#DOW#==6?Sam:$$#DOW#==0?Son:$
