Thank you Mark

Is it a clean way to force the date tool to use the locale strings?
I wish that
do shell script "date " & quote & "+%A %e %B %Y %H:%M:%S" & quote (with some complementary code)


returns

"Dimanche 27 Juillet 2008 17:15:26"

and not

"Sunday 27 July 2008 17:15:26".

Hello Yvan,

Perhaps do you just want something like this:

	do shell script "LC_TIME='fr_FR.UTF-8' date '+%A %e %B %Y %H:%M:%S'"

Even if date's man page doesn't explicitely state that the utility makes use of environment variables other than TZ, it is a POSIX requirement for it to depend on the various LC_ variables as well.
This indeed is the case with Leopard and Tiger, but I haven't checked yet with earlier versions of Mac OS X.


HTH,
Axel
