No I do not think there is a way. As this was made in America, I think they just made it thier standard date format. It would be nice if it changed based on your location. But alas. It does not

Also, sorry :) ... the "correct" (suggested standard) way to write dates is YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601). That numerical order is also how to directly support date sorting without having to maintain/create separate non-string types. Maybe SoloLearn could be convinced to use it, since it would be a standard format rather than creating a localization problem? Sorry if that's not so helpful, so (maybe) here's an amusing reference: https://www.explainxkcd.com/1179

I mean the Sololearn aplication data system, on the foruns it uses the mm/dd/yyyy system, it isn't the same that normally my phone uses.
