Hello,
I’m using a date field in CLM forms and I need the “dd MMMM yyyy” format, but the month name is always displayed in English (e.g., 30 September 2025).

Is there any option to generate the date in a localized full format, so the month name appears in Portuguese (e.g., 30 de Setembro de 2025)?
If not, is Docusign planning to support/translate localized date formats in CLM document generation?

Thanks!

Hi @rodvillani

I believe it’s possible to have this date on document in Portugese with a little C# magic something like updating a date variable and using Merge XML step.

string inputDate = GetVariableValue("InputDate"); // replace InputDate with actual variable
var englishCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
var portugueseCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("pt-PT");
string format = "dd MMMM yyyy";

string result = System.DateTime.Parse(inputDate, englishCulture)
    .ToString(format, portugueseCulture);

return result;

Not sure if a translation is available at form level.
