how to do locale and date?

[Jeremy C. Reed]

I ran:

locale -a | while read line ; do LC_ALL=$line date +%B ; done | uniq

and resulted in one line:

February

How can I get "the locale's full month name" to be printed?

Can anyone share examples of what they use locales for on NetBSD in
default install?

I have NetBSD 4.0_RC4.

Thanks

You're doing it exactly right as far as I know (though I suppose
"LANG" is the preferred variable)

The problem as far as I can see from my 3.1 install is that there
simply aren't any messages for date,
see /usr/share/locale/<base locale name>/LC_MESSAGES/*, where base
locale name is the first bit of the locale,
like uk, fi, kr..

Maybe some kind people would translate base at least?
