Thanks everyone, that tells me what I needed to know. I am surprised that the day and month names aren't in the user's language though, I thought they would be.

Use systemDate does not apply to the internet date. I got the same result with this set to both true and false.

I believe all dates in LC are delivered using US English spellings, except when explicitly directed otherwise by setting the useSystemDate to true.
With the Internet date, though, the Dictionary notes that it follows RFC 
2822, which IIFC only supports US English date element names, so I think it 
should be unaffected by the useSystemDate.
If anyone using a non-US English system can double-check the format after 
setting the useSystemDate to true it would be helpful to confirm that.
