Hi,
I use the function `date' in a table formula to convert org date stamps to
integers for further processing. However, after switching Emacs to a German
locale, this no longer works. Consider the table below:
| Stamp | date |
|------------------+--------|
| [2012-10-31 Wed] | 734808 |
| [2012-10-31 Mi] | #ERROR |
#+TBLFM: $2=date(<$1>)
Org mode generally works fine with the German version of the date stamp, i.e.,
it is picked up in the agenda and deadline warnings work as expected. However,
the `date' function in a table formula does not work. My Emacs inserts the
German version of the date stamp after I've added the following file as
`.MacOSX/environment.plist':
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>LANG</key>
<string>de_DE.UTF-8</string>
<key>LC_ALL</key>
<string>de_DE.UTF-8</string>
</dict>
</plist>
This was necessary to make Cocoa Emacs correctly process filenames with umlauts.
Any idea how the date function can be made locale-aware? Or is there another
alternative for this calculation?
Thanks,
Viktor

From current master, this table now returns correct results.
Please test and let me know if this is okay for you.
Thanks for pointing this!
