Your system information

  • Steam client version: 1536436120
  • Distribution: Debian stable (with some backports)
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Not relevant

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Dates and times are being shown incorrectly.. Dates are being shown with day and month swapped, i.e. in the American muddle-endian format; times are being shown as 12-hour. I expect the proper formats for my locale (shown below).

I'm fairly sure that this started happening with the introduction of the new Steam chat,

That's for chat. This is for the Steam client in general – last played, article date stamps, the download window start/end menus…
