How to change the date format in the Invoice print.

Question

How do I change the format of the date in the invoice while I do the print out in report.
I have tried changing the language in the profile but it shows accordingly in the system but while I print as a report it has the same format.

Eg: (mm/dd/yyyy) but I need as (dd-mmm-yyyy). Below in Image.

I had to make a couple of changes for the PDF invoices to show my preferred date format:
Change the date format in the language *my profile* is using. I added the month abbreviation to make it easier to confirm I had the desired date i.e. instead of 1/1/24 I now see 1/Jan/24. I had to change the language assigned to my customer by editing the Contact and setting their language to match my preferred language.  Additionally, I found that once a PDF has been generated for the Invoice, Odoo will not

Hi there,
I activated developer mode and added New Zealand which is now above US and activated it.
This managed to get the dates correct using Oodo however when the PDF/invoice are generated the date format is still in the US format MM/DD/YYYY
I need it to be DD/MM/YYYY
Please help. Thanks
