Interesting. I didn't think it was possile and at the very least it's porely documented, but: it looks like the information is there: $ LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 locale -k LC_TIME |grep week-1stweek week-1stweek=7 $ LC_TIME=C locale -k LC_TIME |grep week-1stweek week-1stweek=4 $ locale -k LC_TIME |grep week-1stweek week-1stweek=0 This information is available via nl_langinfo(). It shouldn't be too hard to make this usable somewhere...
