Blog refuses to use locale settings

Hi all,

I'm using the latest install of the blog module and Silverstripe 3.0.3. I've been trying to get the blog to use the de_DE locale, but with no luck at all – it insists on using the default en_US formatting for date and time.

I checked the server and the German locale must be set to de_DE.UTF8. I've tried this in mysite/_config.php as well as in blog/_config.php:

// Set the site locale
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE@euro', 'de_DE', 'de', 'ge', 'de_DE.UTF8');
i18n::set_locale('de_DE');
i18n::include_locale_file('blog', 'de_DE');

and also tried creating a lang file called de_DE.UTF8.php and setting

i18n::set_locale('de_DE.UTF8');
i18n::include_locale_file('blog', 'de_DE.UTF8');

but to no avail.

Help?
