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

Hi,

(setq system-time-locale "C")
Cheers,
