For example, if I type:
> date
I get:
Do Mai  3 16:11:52 CEST 2007

My locale settings are german...

All right, if I want to format this with the -d option:
>date -d "Do Mai  3 16:10:57 CEST 2007" "+%H:%M:%S %d-%m-%Y"
It is not recognized as a valid date unless I remove the day "Do" and fix the month, basically change "Mai" to "May"...

Silly. I would not call it a bug, but it's annoying at least, I have not found a simple answer yet. This program should adapt to the locale settings, right? Why doesn't it?

best wishes
