Changing the date format in changing the language in joomla

[Dmitry-T]

When changing the language of joomla (3.9.24) when displaying a blog on the screen, the date format changes from Jan 18, 2021 to ПнPMMSKE_января+0300RянвPMMSK_MSK+03:0001. How to fix it?

[Per Yngve Berg]

The date format is in the language files

What language pack have you installed?

[Dmitry-T]

via the joomla extension manager language pack ru-RU

Are you using the default Joomla core blog template or is it an override in your template?
The format for the date for blog item in frontend is `DATE_FORMAT_LC3`
for Russian pack
`DATE_FORMAT_LC3="d F Y"`
```

Therefore the result you get is pretty weird... `MSK` is Moscow Time and should not display at all...
Please post a screenshot of the page concerned.

Используется joomla 3.8.7, который шел с поставкой шаблона компании template monster. Upgrade 3.9.24.

Please write in English in the English forums.
Switch to Protostar as site template to check the results as we can't deal with 3rd party templates.

I repeat:
