The date format is controlled by the LC_TIME locale category. Hence you could get both the Euro charset and the traditional date format with this: LANG=C.ISO-8859-15 LC_TIME=C Regarding the LANG setting, I'd recommend setting it to the language you prefer, e.g. de_DE.ISO-8859-15 or en_GB.ISO-8859-15, because the C.* locales are unlikely to be recognised when connecting to other systems.
