Hi all I am using locale zh_HK, the date is displaying in Chinese. (四 5月 13 02:26:03 HKT 2004) I want to display the 'date' in C (Thu May 13 02:28:59 HKT 2004) but dont change the locale zh_HK to locale C or other, so any file is handle the date/time locale eg. "xxx.mo" so I can replace the file from locale C. Any idea? Thanks cantona
