So, you mean it's not a good default? But at least a hint
and the possibility to configure CTYPE in YaST would be
nice for those useres that don't read this mailinglist.
It's probably a common pitfall for the small community of
CJ-bilinguals.

This may be an error in glibc of course, if you think it is you may file a bug in the glibc bugzilla.
Definitively wrong. In Switzerland (and I suppose in Germany too), day is always before month and time is separated with a single dot. KDE does it right, it declares time as: "SS.MM:SEKSEK" and date as: "WOCHENTAG, tT. MONAT JJJJ" and short date as: "tT mM. JJ" (that's wrong AFAIK, day is always followed by a dot). So, with de_CH, your example should probably render to: Dienstag, 17. Mai 2005 17.41:15 Regards Marc
