Hi Rosh89 ，
this is expected behavior:
The reason is this:
- subscriptions are executed by the Power BI service as a background job, using the owner's locale.
- The owner locale is the one specified in the settings as one of the 44 currently supported languages: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/fundamentals/supported-languages-countries-regions
- When language=(browser default) is selected, the backend cannot use the browser value because browser may have other/different sets of supported languages. As a consequence, the backend will set the user setting to default, which is American English.
And refer the following article:

Hi,
I tried everything in the link. Changed language settings to english uk in chrome and powerbi service (default browser language) It still doesn't work. Somehow the date format changes to US format in the subscription image. Even tried changing language settings in outlook, still didnt work.
