Hello!
What I am doing is:
invoking a bash script that does the
git add ${i##$TXPATH/}/strings.xml
git commit --author="$AUTHOR" ${i##$TXPATH\/}/strings.xml -m "l10n:
$LNAME update"
after a user confirmation.
IIUC setting LANGUAGE=en at the top of this script _did_ help.
So I run everything with german locale for reproducing this.

Running this commands locally (german locale) lead to some wrong dates

git format-patch -o patches origin
What does "git show -s --pretty=fuller HEAD" give you at this point?
This is to check what kind of timestamps are stored in the original
commit objects.
See pretty_fuller.txt
And what does "grep '^Date: ' patches/0001-*" show you at this point?
This is to see if the problem is at the "format-patch" step.
See date_grep.txt
git send-email --compose --no-chain-reply-to --to some@xxxxxxxxxxx
--suppress-cc=author patches/0001-l10n-Turkish-update.patch
And what does "grep '^Date: '" for the message that is received by
recipients show at this step? They cannot be
The local
Date: Sat, 4 Aug 2012
became
Wed, 8 Dec 2004
as these two do not even have times and zones. It should read
something like
Date: Sun, 05 Aug 2012 13:39:12 -0700
or something.
It was a complete line. I just did not copy all of it, for I thought I
already pointed out the problem.
The recipient uses en_CA.UTF-8 and guesses:
Date: 12-08-05 06:10 PM
it is Y-M-D, but git thinks it's M-Y-D
Also "Date" on which message do you see your problem with? The one
that is created with --compose? Or the one that was originally
produced by format-patch and then sent? Or both?
git log should show the translators name ($AUTHOR in the git commit line)
Sorry for the late (and probably still incomplete) reply. I can provide
a complete example or send a patch to a dummy project if you prefer some
time next week, I hope.
Regards
Christoph
