Hi,

I try use this variable, but result in English:

uses SysUtils;
begin
   WriteLn(SysUtils.ShortMonthNames[1]);
end.

Out:

Jan

set | grep 'LANG' :

GDM_LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8

fpc -iW :

2.4.0-0

Description of ShortMonthNames (http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/sysutils/shortmonthnames.html):

ShortMonthNames is an array with the abbreviated names of months. It is used by the date formatting routines. The initialization routines of the SysUtils unit initialize this string with a value conforming to the regional preferences of the user or system regional default.

Good Luck,
Alexander.

Include the 'clocale' unit in your program's uses clause.

it will initialize the internationalization settings in the sysutils unit.

I have adapted the documentation so it mentions this.

Michael.

Thank You!
