Aha! So it works with :language messages...

You could use

:language messages en
:language time English_United\ States.1252

or if you want dd/mm/yyyy dates rather than mm/dd/yyyy,

:language messages en
:language time English_United\ Kingdom.1252

If it doesn't work with United\ Kingdom, use Great\ Britain instaid, and
if it doesn't work with the slash, try without it.

Best regards,
Tony.
