copied!<p>Delphi's routines does nothing special - they just ask OS. Here is how to to it: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd319114(VS.85).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Retrieving Time and Date Information</a>. I looked through MSDNs docs and found <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd373890(VS.85).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>. </p> <p>Note, that there is no really such thing as "2 character day-name" or "3 character day-name" here. There are: native ("long" in Delphi), abbreviated ("short" in Delphi) or short (Vista and above, not present in Delphi) formats.</p> <p>For example, abbreviated name of the day of the week for Monday: Mon (3 chars, en-US), Пн (2 chars, ru-RU).</p> <p>So, you probably look for <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd373890(VS.85).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LOCALE_SSHORTESTDAYNAMEX</a> format (which is called "short" by MSDN and doesn't appear in Delphi), but it is availavle only on Vista and above.</p> <p>For example, the following code:</p> <pre><code>const LOCALE_SSHORTESTDAYNAME1 = $60; procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin SetThreadLocale($409); ShowMessage( GetLocaleStr(GetThreadLocale, LOCALE_SSHORTESTDAYNAME1, '') + #13#10 + GetLocaleStr(GetThreadLocale, LOCALE_SABBREVDAYNAME1, '') ); end; </code></pre> <p>will show you:</p> <blockquote> <p>Mo</p> <p>Mon</p> </blockquote> <p>But doing this for Russian will output:</p> <blockquote> <p>Пн</p> <p>Пн</p> </blockquote> <p>Hope my edits make answer more clear ;)</p>
