I've tried it now, and it doesn't use LC_TIME at least for most of the
date/time formats.  I.e. there're strings such as "Yesterday at
14:15", "11:00" (for today), "Sun 9:14", "Feb 01, 19:26" and "Dec 14,
2004" (all localised, of course).  None of them looks like either of
what I get with "date +%x", "date +%X" and "date +%c" (I did part of
the Evo translation to Serbian, and created Serbian locales, so I
should know :).

> Can you point me to where the data and time formats get stored ?

Look in each of the translations in evolution-data-server/po/ and
evolution/po/ subdirectories.  When installed, they get stored as "MO"
files into eg. 
  /usr/share/locale/<lang_code>/LC_MESSAGES/evolution-*.mo

You can use msgunfmt on these files to see what they contain (i.e. get
PO files), or well, "strings" utility.

Hope this helps you somehow.

Cheers,
Danilo
