This is dependent upon your C library, glibc will do that - cf the
strftime manpage:


       %A     The  full  weekday  name  according  to the current
              locale.

I would be dubious whether we would be well advised to suggest that people
try altering the locale on their webhotels - which would become a support
nightmare.

Sure you can set $ENV{LC_ALL} but that has to be done before POSIX is
loaded and so forth and you have to be sure that it will be a working
locale on that machine :(
