different behaiviour of manually wee_reports and automatic generation,

[Astrid]

Hello!

I am using weex 3.9.2 and Standard-Skin.
German location.

If I use from commandline "wee_reports" the date is printed
in my reports on /var/www/weewx in
german notation:
25.03.2020 15:20:00
and in the weekoverview there
is standing
18,6°C um 14:45:00 (Mittwoch)

If the archive-intervall is over and
the reports in /var/www/weewx are
generated automaticially there is standing:

03/25/20 15:50:00
and
18.6°C um 14:45:00 (Wednesday)

Where can I change, that it will be
during automated generated reports
the german notation too?

Regards, Astrid

Did you set the environment variable LANG? See the manual.

Hello!

Yes, it is set:

linux:/var/lib/weewx # echo $LANG
de_DE.UTF-8
on the computer, where weewx is running.

Has it to be set at some other places?

did you export LANG as instructed in the customisation guide?

I suspect the environment variable LANG is not being set by whatever shell is starting your daemon.

An easy fix is to go into /usr/share/weewx/user/extension.py and change this

import locale
# This will use the locale specified by the environment variable 'LANG'
# Other options are possible. See:
# http://docs.python.org/2/library/locale.html#locale.setlocale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

to this

import locale
# This will use the locale specified by the environment variable 'LANG'
# Other options are possible. See:
# http://docs.python.org/2/library/locale.html#locale.setlocale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'de_DE.UTF-8')

Hello!

Yes, I think so.
First is set
export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
on the linux-system, where weewx is running,
and then weewx is started.
