Re: system clock/date language

This answer depends on the type of OS you are using.
All that is needed is to change the regional settings of all the computers concerned to English Language - either British or American.

Your program should pick up from there.
If you are using Windows XP:
Go to control panel->Regional and Language Options-->Language Options--> English(United Kingdom)
