data utility uses variable LC_TIME to know what language of days to use. If you want to know if this is really the issue, try:



echo $LC_TIME


then if you dont want to mess up anything, but still have different language in your script just change it in your script like



LC_TIME=en_US.utf8

    If everything except date is in English, then there is a high chance that the value of LC_TIME is something wrong, use localectl command to change it to your desired locale:



    sudo localectl set-locale LC_TIME=en_US.utf8


    or en_GB.utf8 for UK.



    You can also place LC_TIME=en_US.utf8 at this file /etc/default/locale manually if you wish.

      Select the system settings "window". Click on Language Support. In the Regional Format tab set the preferred language. I had same problem when I first set clock wound up in Spanish. You will need to restart after change to take affect.
