You are right. Setting LANG should be all that is needed and I think my
patch should be reverted.
I'm still confused by Niels's issue, though. Given the screenshot he
showed, LANG should have been set to da_DK.UTF-8, which should show the
weekday in Danish:
$ LANG=da_DK.UTF-8 date +%c
Man 1 Nov 22:41:33 2021
Perhaps the way he launches Emacs inherits a LANG variable already set
to English. Or there is a wrapper in some custom Emacs NS distribution
that sets LANG to English beforehand. Anyway, I think it's a
configuration problem somewhere, unrelated to Emacs, that should be
handled by the user overriding the time locale manually:
(setq system-time-locale "da_DK.UTF-8")
WDYT? Sorry, in retrospective, I think I didn't do the absolutely
correct thing here.
