OK, I think I now have a working solution. I have tracked it down to
the variable system-time-locale. However, this is a global variable,
so you have to put
(make-variable-buffer-local 'system-time-locale)
in your .emacs. Then, you can put something like this at the bottom of
an org file:
* COMMENT local variables for this file
# Local Variables:
# system-time-locale: "es_MX.ISO8859-1"
# End:
which will set the locale for that file only. After editing the local
variables, you have to do M-x normal-mode to set them for your current
session.
Thanks to Bastien and Carsten for your suggestions.
