Will Jones commented on ARROW-16399:
------------------------------------
Good question. IIRC, this will error in C++:
{code:C++}
std::locale("English_United States.1252")
{code}
It looks like it may be possible get support for other locales, based on the
documentation here:
https://github.com/msys2/msys2-runtime/blob/c0250d576e39d603248d10e7bb2f396c9bc6a56c/newlib/libc/locale/locale.c#L29-L41
> [R][C++] datetime locale support on Windows MINGW / R

> Components: C++, R
> Affects Versions: 7.0.0
> Reporter: Will Jones
> Priority: Major
>
> In [https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12536] I found that locales other
> than "C" and "POSIX" didn't seem to be supported in the RTools environment (a
> MSYS2 fork). I saw some indications this might apply to any MINGW toolchain
> (https://stackoverflow.com/a/4497266/2048858), but nothing very recent or
> definitive.
> Is there a way we can enable this support?
