Date in local language

Hello!

First of all, thanks for such a nice piece of software.

I would like to include the date on different formats. So, I am using %A_MMMM%, for example and it outputs June in English. I would like it on another language. Is it possible? I tried to look into it but found nothing. Can you kindly point me in the right direction?

Best regards,
David.

Date variables are dependent on system user language setting. Change Windows system language to change the date output format.

Sorry if it is against rules to use old topics. But This is exactly what I am looking for.

Is it possible to force change language of variable? In some text editors charset does not work correctly and it is better to have english charset to be used in text of variable. Changing system language is too much of a solution.

Check Date and Time macro to freely format the date.
For built-in variables like %A_MMMM% FastKeys uses a Windows system setting.
