Cygwin provides all locales supported by the underlying Windows system. Windows doesn't know en_DK. Linux (better: glibc) supports en_DK, but what you say doesn't work for me on Linux either: $ LC_TIME=en_DK date Thu Sep 1 20:30:01 CEST 2011 No ISO 8601 representation. > It is possible install locale to get ISO 8601 date formatting? There is no such locale. I tried your above grep on the Linux locales (on F15, glibc 2.14), too, and there isn't even one which has ISO 8601 date/time by default. If you want that date format, you have to enforce it on a per-command base, for instance: $ date +'%F %T' $ ls -l --time-style=long-iso $ ls -l --time-style='+%F %T' Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
