Time module does not respect locale about i3status-rust

[ammgws]

FYI Chrono now supports localisation (chronotope/chrono#453)

We still have to get LC_TIME ourselves though. Or add another option to the time block to specify the locale.

https://crates.io/crates/locale_config maybe this could be useful?

@oschoudhury This should be fixed in #863. For now you'll have to manually specify your locale in the config but in the future it could be made to retrieve your system LC_TIME by default.

Well, all the formatting is done by the chrono crate, and I have't given much thought to locales so far. Maybe you can investigate whether this is a missing feature/bug in chrono/bug in the time block?

[oschoudhury]

I forgot to answer here. It seems like it should be able by combining the chrono crate with the locale crate, the problem is however that on rust-locale it says "This version is mostly useless. Major rewrite is pending for version 0.3.".

So I guess that for the moment it is a "won't fix" situation.

Let's keep an eye on this: chronotope/chrono#199
