This thread has been instructive, as I've had the same grief as Antti. I've been using dateItems for all my date stuff, and reconstructing my own Japanese dates.

However, I didn't know about the useSystemDate command. It's working great here. Mac OS10.11.5, system running in Japanese, LC 8.0.2 community edition.

This info doesn't help Antti much, though.... sorry. But thanks for asking the question!

Then maybe I have problems on my machines( MacBook Pro 2007 and iMac 2010),
because I have used different version of MacOs's  and different versions of
Livecode and both of your scripts and the answer is all the same - english
date. My computers primary language is Finnish.

You should have taken a bit longer to read the documention, this:

on mouseUp
    set the useSystemDate to true
    put the long date into fld "fDATE"
end mouseUp

returned this:

вторник, септември 6, 2016

as I am using a machine running Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit with the system date
system running
in Bulgarian - mainly because I live and work on Bulgaria.

Is it the time to you to get the system date work.I have done everything I
found your guide, but no avail, every time english date. I made it a bug
report since version 6 was announced. and still it doesn't work. Now I'm
using Mac OS 10.10 and 10.11 in Finnish. Today I tired SperCard for fun
and
even it I got finnish date without any larger measures, just "answer the
date" and that's it. And it is not the only software which understands the
finnish date, for example Xcode and Xojo knows how it should be display.
You made many wondrous things into your software, but simple as date won't
work. I think there are many people in this world who use different date
form than english.
