system-time-locale -> nil
So, this works:
(setq system-time-locale (getenv "LANG"))
(format-time-string "%x")
-> "23/01/2020"
But in the Elisp manual:
-- Variable: system-time-locale
This variable specifies the locale to use for formatting time
values. Changing the locale can cause messages to appear according
to the conventions of a different language. If the variable is
‘nil’, the locale is specified by environment variables in the
usual POSIX fashion.
So the issue appears to be instead that ^this doesn't seem to be
happening...
