Summary: strftime using wrong locale Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: diafero@arcor.de
strftime is using the wrong locale in two applications for me (could not find any others using this function): In the game "Uru" by Cyan, and in the "Vault Manager" Cyan published years ago to manage your own Uru servers. In both cases, when I start the applications on a German Windows system, they use the English locale for strftime, so I get times like "10:23 AM" (I Know it's definitely strftime for Uru since that string is created by the Python part of the game, and the line in the source code says timestr = time.strftime('%m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p', currenttime)). If however I start these applications on my German Kubuntu, the "AM" just vanishes, so I can not even tell whether this is 10:23 or 22:23. In addition, the "Vault Manager" also displays abbreviations of month names, and in case of "Mär" (for März = March), it has trouble with the special character: It says "Mär". In both cases, starting wine with LC_ALL=C fixes the issues.

--- Comment #2 from diafero@arcor.de 2011-03-24 09:02:41 CDT --- Sorry, forgot to mention: This is with the latest wine-1.3.16 compiled using gcc 4.5.
The Vault Manager is available for free download, for example at http://www.the-deep-island.de/uru-tools/plVaultManager-0.38.7.zip, but it can not be used without a server to connect to. A free demo of Uru is also available, but it does not allow you to get to the age (as game worlds are called in Uru) that shows this issue.

Development recommends to check the status on your bug every release or two and let to be known if the bug is still present. If not, mark it fixed. If you are no longer able to put effort to this ticket, you can abandon it.
Is this still an issue with 1.7.7 or higher ?

--- Comment #4 from diafero@arcor.de 2013-12-02 11:37:50 CST --- I am currently unable to reproduce the issue, so I'm closing it.
My system setup heavily changed since I did the report - I am now using English as my system locale. Even after setting the local environment variables to German explicitly, I do not see the issue, but it may still occur if the system is entirely set up to be German.
