[solved] German date format, but english locale?

Salut,

I prefer the system displaying English texts, though I need German date and number formats. How can I change the date formats?

Thanks in advance,

Stefan

Re: [solved] German date format, but english locale?

I've solved it by doing such:

$ cat /etc/profile.d/_locales.sh 
# Locale
export LANG="en_US.utf8"
export LC_NUMERIC="sv_SE.utf8"
export LC_COLLATE="C"
export LC_TIME="sv_SE.utf8"
export LC_MONETARY="sv_SE.utf8"
export LC_MEASUREMENT="sv_SE.utf8"
export LC_CTYPE="sv_SE.utf8"
export LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"

And then in my .bashrc I have the following:

if [ -f /etc/profile ]; then
  . /etc/profile
fi

/etc/profile will go through all files in /etc/profile.d/ and source them if they are executable (so chmod a+x it).
