When formatting dates, months are displayed in Russian and alphabetical order

Yes, I think running

Sys.setlocale(category = "LC_TIME", "English")

will work for you. It solved a similar problem in this thread:

convert lubridate::date to a formated date

I am running Windows 11. I got it by changing only I have changed the Sys.setlocale("LC_TIME", "English") This is what I get now: library (lubridate) #> #> Attaching package: 'lubridate' #> The following objects are masked from 'package:base': #> #> date, intersect, setdiff, union time1<- lubridate::date () time2<-as.POSIXct (time1, format="%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y") timestamp <- lubridate::round_date(time2, unit = "5 minutes") strftime(timestamp, format = "%A %d-%m-%Y; %H:%M") #> [1] "Monday 18-03-2024; 16:50" Many thanks!

That user had LC_TIME=Spanish_Spain.utf8 but I doubt that difference matters.
