Hi,

As far as we know "Globalization" would refer to the locale setting. Which 

should be adjustable within the "Languages" section of the Host menu within your 

DNN site.

> I have several Galleries but I am recieving the following errors on one. I 

went to the DNN site and included their suggestion in this Ticket (see below ) 

but they are suggesting a problem with the date format and that the only way to 

solve this one is to use the default globalization settings. Where is this done 

?

> There can be a number of reasons for this one, but one of the top issues comes 

from using a different globalization setting. Since Gallery uses XML files for 

its metadata, whenever the site uses alocale that formats dates differently from 

mm/dd/yyyy, dates that cannot be read in that locale will cause Gallery to throw 

an error. The only way to solve this one is to use the default globalization 

settings.
