Can I change the 3 letter month names on the timeline? Not all languages use the same as English.

Changing to numeric eg: 3/12/2010 would be ok

Not sure if you guys have done anything with this yet, but:  
when I delivered the project, I noticed that the dates were displayed according to the O/S local selected. Which is just what I wanted.
