I've got a problem how Gnome3 behaves when setting the locales:
1) it ignores the settings made in /etc/locale.conf
2) In the 'Region & Language' settings there are two settings:
- language
- formats
I thought thats perfect: I wan't English as language and Austrian Formats (Metric/A4). But what happens: the date is now displayed in German ... why?
Any thoughts on that behavior?

Because the format of the date string (and the name of the days) is part of the date local.

Thx. You confirm what I suspected.
Anyways? Is there a solution to this? For example in KDE4 it is not a problem to have an English output.

Well, you can always use the UK locales, they use metric and the dates are in english.
Other option would be manually override LC_TIME enviroment variable, but that is a hack and I don't know how Gnome will try to switch it back.

Im not sure of the exact problem here, but Ill just share that I had an issue where my locales where a bit wonky, and /etc/locale.conf was being ignored by gnome/gdm only, turned out AccountService was changing my locales.
Here is my original thread and solution https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 8#p1292808
