I have Russian system locale in my Windows 7 (set in CP, Region and Language, Formats, Russian). I'd like to keep it since some Russian programs I need don't work correctly under English locale.
But I don't want to use dates in Russian (январь instead of January, понедельник instead of Monday, etc.).
Any way to achieve it?

You can create a custom locale that mixes existing ones either as supplemental locale or as a replacement. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd317785%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Hmm, looks like it doesn't work for Windows 7. Googling... – yuk – 2013-08-31T17:53:26.470
The Locale Builder program has problems running in Windows 7, the locales created work fine. – Brian – 2013-09-01T13:08:34.977
OK, finally made it work even under Win7. MS made the installation a nightmare, but compatibility mode helps. @Brian, I can accept if you submit it as an answer. Thanks a lot! – yuk – 2013-09-01T15:48:29.933
