I usually start my Emacs with vi_VN.UTF-8 locale and notice org-mode date output use the localized format too, instead of standard one. I believe locale-independent format would be better, but don't know how to do it. Seems like %a and other locale-dependent must be replaced with locale-independent ones. Any comments? BTW, org-mode does not support timezone. I know Emacs' current-time does not support timezone, so there is probably no way for org-mode to detect correct timezone. But is there plan for supporting timezone with user input, e.g. via property TIMEZONE? Thanks, -- Duy
