System date

[Terry Judd]

Hi Antti – I just tried changing my Mac’s default language to Finnish (Suomi) then restarted it, opened Livecode (several versions up to 8.0.2) and typed “put the long system date” into the message box. All returned an English style date (Wednesday, 7 September 2016) even though the date in the menubar clock was in Finnish. So, it’s not just you.

Best regards,

Terry...

    Then maybe I have problems on my machines( MacBook Pro 2007 and iMac 2010),
    because I have used different version of MacOs's  and different versions of
    Livecode and both of your scripts and the answer is all the same - english
    date. My computers primary language is Finnish.
