Changing the C locale.

[thugcee]

Hi, is it possible to change C locale settings by configuration, without changing the code?
openHASP has support for binding label text with datetime using strftime. But to get it working for languages other than English, the locale has to be changed.

strftime is function of the newlib library by Espressif. I haven't really looked into it, but a quick search seems to indicate that Espressif only provides English locales anyway... This means you'll need to implement a custom strftime function or use a different library.

Localization is a feature of the C library. Espressif is using newlib, which may or may not have support for anything other than the fallback "C" locale. I very much doubt that Espressif has anything prepared to help you. It would probably be much easier to write your code to format dates and other such from scratch.
