[Coming soon..] Get systemd/journalctl etc. to respect locale settings

Is it possible to persuade systemd/systemctl/journalctl to respect locale settings?

As my locale is not well supported, I do not expect miracles but it would be nice if systemd would respect it insofar as the rest of the system does. At a minimum, I should be getting dates in the correct locale.

$ locale
LANG=cy_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="cy_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="cy_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="cy_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="cy_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="cy_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="cy_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="cy_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="cy_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="cy_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="cy_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="cy_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

$ cat /etc/locale.conf
LANG=cy_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=cy_GB:cy:en_GB:en
LC_COLLATE=C

But all output from journalctl, systemctl etc. uses English and only English.

(It is also aggravating that KDE insists on English but that is really a further layer.)

Needs to be fixed in systemd. Probably reasonable to expect this next release.

That's great - thanks so much. I will stop thinking I've configured something wrongly and look forward to the next release!

(Always assuming I still have a laptop to run Arch on, of course...)
