I have setup my Ubuntu machine to use the English (US) language. I have setup regional formats to use a Dutch format.

The problem is that weekdays and months names are defined by the regional format, not the language setting.

Can I configure the locale in such a way that everything is in English, but use Dutch the locale for anything else?

For example:

English: Thu 08 June 2019 10:15:59 PM CET
Dutch: do 08 juni 2018 22:25:59 CET
Wanted: Do 08 June 2018 22:25:59 CET

No, you cannot arbitrarily select which part of a string in an arbitrary program uses which locale you have installed.

You will need to create a custom locale and translate strings to fit your desired translation and formatting, in a non-standard way as you describe.

You can make use of the en_DK.UTF-8 locale. Open ~/.profile for editing and add this line:

export LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8

This takes effect at next login.
