I tried the following program:
```
#define __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO 0
#include <locale.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <wchar.h>
int main (int argc, char **argv) {
_locale_t locale = _create_locale (LC_ALL, argc > 1 ? argv[1] : "");
if (locale == NULL) {
fwprintf (stderr, L"Failed to create locale\n");
return 1;
}
time_t t = time (NULL);
struct tm *tm = localtime (&t);
wchar_t buf[BUFSIZ];
// no _strftime_l in msvcrt.dll
_wcsftime_l (buf, BUFSIZ, L"%c", tm, locale);
wprintf (L"%s\n", buf);
return 0;
}
```
You can pass different locales (simple strings such as "English", "German",
"Korean" etc. will suffice), and you will see that written time string differs
from one locale to another, although not much.
It is possible that on pre-Windows 8 they were really simply equivalent regular
versions.
