1. I created a text box and filled it with 

	Format(Now, "dd mmmm yyyy")

Putting a DateChooser on the form had already shown that month names are in 
English, but I tried the text box to check the output of the Format command 
too.

2. I suppose I meant system locale. I've never had to fiddle with that. I'm 
guessing that some script somewhere picks up on the information I entered 
during installation of the OS, but I am sure I could track it down if that 
needs to be changed too. I reckon that will confine me to checking with 
languages I have some acquaintance with. If my whole system starts to speak 
to me in Arabic I could be in trouble!
