So, with respect to my previous message, what I actually tried in the message
box was...
set the useSystemDate to true; put the long system date
...but it still returned an English style date.

This thread has been instructive, as I've had the same grief as Antti.
I've been using dateItems for all my date stuff, and reconstructing my
own Japanese dates.
However, I didn't know about the useSystemDate command. It's working
great here. Mac OS10.11.5, system running in Japanese, LC 8.0.2
community edition.
This info doesn't help Antti much, though.... sorry. But thanks for
asking the question!
