All,
My current-language-environment is "German".
Having an Org table with a TBLFM attached:
| IM Startzeit | IM Endezeit | Stunden | delta(x,16) | Anm. |
|-----------------------+-----------------------+---------+-------------+------|
| [2018-01-22 Mo 19:30] | [2018-01-23 Di 14:30] | 19.00 | 3.00 | |
| | | | | |
#+TBLFM: $3=24*(date(<$2>)-date(<$1>)); %.2f::$4=$3-16.0; %.2f
entering a new timestamp correctly inserts German dayname abbrevs: ("Do", German for
"Thu", English):
| IM Startzeit | IM Endezeit | Stunden | delta(x,16) | Anm. |
|-----------------------+-----------------------+---------+-------------+------|
| [2018-01-22 Mo 19:30] | [2018-01-23 Di 14:30] | 19.00 | 3.00 | |
| [2018-01-25 Do 14:19] | | | | |
#+TBLFM: $3=24*(date(<$2>)-date(<$1>)); %.2f::$4=$3-16.0; %.2f
Executing the TBLFM line with C-c C-c changes (resets) the language environment
to English.
Now inserting a timestamp inserts "Thu" instead of "Do", that is it uses the
English day name abbrevs:
| IM Startzeit | IM Endezeit | Stunden | delta(x,16) |
Anm. |
|-----------------------+-----------------------+--------------+--------------+------|
| [2018-01-22 Mo 19:30] | [2018-01-23 Di 14:30] | 19.00 | 3.00 |

#+TBLFM: $3=24*(date(<$2>)-date(<$1>)); %.2f::$4=$3-16.0; %.2f
Believe me it took me some time to find out what action in Emacs changes the
whole lang environment.
Is that a bug or is there a language setting in the TBLFM form?
Thanks for any hint.

Rainer
I can reproduce this if I start emacs like this:
emacs -q -l ~/src/minimal/min.org.el /tmp/dates.org &
set the language environment inside emacs and then do C-c C-c on the TBLFM line
and try to add another date.
I cannot reproduce it when invoking emacs like this:
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 emacs -q -l ~/src/minimal/min.org.el /tmp/dates.org
so it seems you are right that in the first case, something changes the language
environment.
Hi Nick,
thanks for confirming.
I am running under Windows and cannot apply your environment setting like this.
Does anyboday have a chance to correct the misbehaviour in the TBLFM table code
that changes the language settings?
I will not be able to do it on my own.
Thank you.
Regards, Rainer
Hi again,
I found out that it is the "date" function that changes the language settings.
TBLFM lines without date calc don't change the behaviour.
May I please ask a calc expert to look into that function and investigate the
unwanted behaviour.
I am also not sure how to easily reset the language setting manually to the
correct one.
Can someone give me a hint please.
Thank you.
Regards, Rainer
