Anyone know how to easily add 6 hours to the timestamps in Exponential 3.2?

I've installed this magnificent cms on my american servers, but I live in Norway and my articles timestamps are all messed up.. :)

Hi Valentin,
i hope this will help you:

You have to change in your /share/local language ini file the time/date format to %O = -0x00, where x is the difference to Greenwich time (GMT) in hours.

Thanks! Tried this out a bit, but I can't seem to get the syntax quite right.. Anyone got practical examples of adjusted timedate in /share/local language ini file ? How do I add 6 hours to this:

DateTimeFormat=%d. %F %Y %H:%i:%s
