Then determine the locale your friend understands, set your locale to that value, logout, then log back in, and re-start your applications. Your session will be in the locale your friend understands. If some other system does this more to your liking, use it. *nix doesn't do this (without extensive re-writing/re-development). This is a corner case which very few users would need in day to day usage. You're welcome to offer your changes to the developers. I wouldn't hold out much hope of them being implemented though, without strong reasoning why they should. It would be a massive change. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
