Changing date field format, process models names become question marks

Question

Hello I am trying to change the format of the displayed date in the date field. Currently it is mm/dd/yyyy. I found a solution in admin console -> internationalization. It changes the format if I pick locale to en_UK, however then process model names and descriptions become three question marks "???". How to fix this or maybe there is another way to do this date formatting? I am on Appian 23.3

Models do not have a locale, but rely on the enabled locales and the standard locale as defined in the admin console. In the model designer, you will see the locale of your account. When you add nodes, it will only populate the node name etc. in your locale. But you can switch to other locales in the node properties and enter these values. 
 Deploying to an environment with a different language setup can lead to issues. 
 As a baseline, I try to define EN_US as the default language and make all developers use this locale. Any additional language or localization can be enabled and if I do not enter the translated values, EN_US will be the fallback.
