Hi,

First of all I'd like to say that I find orgmode great. I'd been looking for
a tool like this for years.
I have a french version of windows so when I set a timestamp on an item with
C-c >, I get the timestamp in french.
I'd like to get it in english.
I've tried setting the language environment to english through the menu
(options/mule/set language environment) but it makes no difference.
In a previous mail of this mailing list (
http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/msg03064.html), it is
mentioned that this depends on the variable system-time-locale.

How can I set system-time-locale to english permanently in my emacs init
file? ( I'm a newbie to emacs)

I've tried the following, but it doesnt work:

(set-locale-environment English)
(system-time-locale English)

Thanks very much.

  As a workaround, for org files, you can change 
  the *format* of the date having the 
  *appearance* of the English date.
  
  Please have a look at the variable 
  org-time-stamp-custom-formats
  
  C-h v org-time-stamp-custom-formats
  
  In a file I have: 
  
  #Local Variables:
  #org-time-stamp-custom-formats : ("<%d/%m/%Y>" . "<%d/%m/%Y %a %H:%M>")
  #End:
  
  [2009-09-02 mer] becomes  [02/09/2009]
  
  Nice, but  you can only change the date day by day and the format 
  will *not* be exported.
  
  Or [beware, untested!] you could change 
  the format-time string variable in your .emacs.
  
  cheers,
  Giovanni

    Hi,
    Many thanks for your reply.
    How could I change the format-time string variable in my .emacs file?
    Thanks again
