Sometimes this is not enough. E.g. the US version of 4th dimension
recognizes the trick. 

But this one worked: (System 7.0 with TuneUp) I exchanched the two
INTL-recources by the US ones (copied them from a US system). Then I 
edited the US-recources of itl0 and itl1 so that time and date
formatting is localized even when I set the international control 
panel to US, what I have to do for 4th dimension (US) to run.

Disclaimer: It's a very ugly hack and I don't know what I _really_ did.
There may be ugly side effects, and if you copy the trick, you'll do so 
entirely at your own risk. And I have no idea if it might break any
license agreement.
