# Localization support
LOCALE_ID=None

...no.

It's a windows duoubleclick installation.

In the Python interpreter:

>>> DateTime().strftime('%A')
'Wednesday'

In a Python Script:
return context.ZopeTime().strftime('%A')
# and it returns: 'onsdag' (which is wednesday in
swedish)
(note also the difference in capitalization)

Where my problem originates is in a Python Product
where I also use DateTime; and get the bloody local
representation.

I could translate the swedish results to 'monday',
'tuesday' etc. but what if somebody installs my code
on their french machines?
