Dear Johanna,

for me
(setq calendar-day-name-array ["Sonntag" "Montag" "Dienstag" "Mittwoch"
			       "Donnerstag" "Freitag" "Samstag"]
       calendar-month-name-array ["Januar" "Februar" "Maerz" "April" "Mai"
				 "Juni" "Juli" "August" "September"
				 "Oktober" "November" "Dezember"])
in .emacs results in German names.

best regards,

Heinz
