Ok, that does the trick.  It was nil before.  And

  (setq system-time-locale (getenv "LANG"))

resulting in "en_US.utf8" seems to work as well.  What did not work for

I'm on GNU/Linux and update my emacs bzr and org git checkouts about
thrice a week.  All I can say is that a week ago, timestamps where
English (or at least I didn't notice).
