Re: [O] Show weekday in daily agenda view

[Heinz Tuechler]

Dear Johanna,

for me
(setq calendar-day-name-array ["Sonntag" "Montag" "Dienstag" "Mittwoch"
                               "Donnerstag" "Freitag" "Samstag"]
      calendar-month-name-array ["Januar" "Februar" "Maerz" "April" "Mai"
                                 "Juni" "Juli" "August" "September"
                                 "Oktober" "November" "Dezember"])
in .emacs results in German names.

best regards,

Heinz
