Localization of date(1) and XFCE

Hi,

Well, i'm using OpenBSD 6.9 on my Thinkpad laptop using XFCE as desktop
environment. I started another thread about emojis but here I wanna
share an inconsistency I'd like to work out.

I speak Spanish and thus I use a locale called es_CL.UTF-8. XFCE is fine
with it. However, my date is expressed directly as it comes from
date(1). This is confirmed by their docs
https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/4.16/clock so how do I make date
to work with my language.

This is my locale:

LANG=es_CL.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="es_CL.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="es_CL.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_CL.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_CL.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_CL.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_CL.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=es_CL.UTF-8

I've read it happening before but I didn't find the solution.
