It does not strictly speaking correspond to English but to the "default" language for each individual application which may, of course, be English in many if not most cases.

Aha, thanks that looks helpful, however the documentation for that variable is nonexistent. How do I know its options and that "C" corresponds to English?

If LANG is set, that's enough: all the LC_* default to whatever LANG says, but you can override them if you set them explicitly. -- Nick

No idea really but I suggest you look at update-locale and locale commands. Have a look at /etc/default/locale which should contain the actual defaults created by update-locale. I only have # File generated by update-locale LANG="en_GB.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="en_GB:en" in my /etc/default/locale file and my environment has no LC_ variables set, interestingly. -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 26.0.50.1, Org release_9.0.3-262-g5210de signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Hm I am on Ubuntu 14.04 with the tcsh shell and locale gives me locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_TIME=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_NAME=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=es_ES.UTF-8 LC_ALL= So I presume it is LC_TIME=es_ES.UTF-8 No idea that is was set up like this do you know by change how and where can I change that? Thanks Uwe

I think you'll find that these come from the standard time format, using %a for day of the week.

[O] org-time-stamp, day format
Hello When I use org-time-stamp. I obtain: <2016-11-15 mar> mar is short for martes, which is the Spanish word for Tuesday. How can I can change that format, to any language I desire? I thought it would be calendar-day-name-array but this seems not to be the case. Thanks Uwe Brauer
