[Rt-devel] Bug in Date field generation for e-mail

[Jonathan Rockway]

Your observed behavior is the correct behavior.  If you set the LANGuage
to Russian, then the language will be ... Russian. :)  If you change it
to "C", it will be C.  That's the whole point of LANG :)

Anyway, try setting LC_MESSAGES="C" if you don't want messages to be in
Russian.  Here's a list of the other LC_* environment variables:

LANG
LC_CTYPE
LC_NUMERIC
LC_TIME
LC_COLLATE
LC_MONETARY
LC_MESSAGES
LC_PAPER
LC_NAME
LC_ADDRESS
LC_TELEPHONE
LC_MEASUREMENT
LC_IDENTIFICATION
LC_ALL

Quick example:

$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
$ date
Tue Aug 29 02:05:24 CDT 2006
$ export LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8
$ date
2006年  8月 29日 火曜日 02:05:36 CDT
$ LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" date
Tue Aug 29 02:06:37 CDT 2006

Anyway, Hope this helps.

Regards,
Jonathan Rockway
