I would like GambasTester to test localizations, but I haven't find easy
way to do that.
Maybe some website has listed all the localizations... then I could:

Select Case Application.Env["LC_TIME"]

Case "en_US.UTF-8"
  If Format(Date(2000, 12, 24, 11, 40), "hh:nn dd/mm/yyyy") <> "11:40
24/12/2000" Then
 ...

End Select


But this kind of code could only test the localization you are currently
using. However, it would be better than nothing...


@ Moviga TECHNOLOGIES

Your format string is malformed, it should be "hh:nn dd/mm/yyyy", not
"hh:mm dd/mm/yyyy".
