You don't really need LC_ALL if you only want to translate date & time. 
Here are some examples using LC_TIME:

$ irb -r locale  # assuming you installed ruby-locale for Ruby 1.8
>> Time.now
=> Tue Oct 23 13:12:20 -0700 2007

# in German:
>> Locale.setlocale(Locale::LC_TIME, "de_DE"); Time.now
=> Di Okt 23 13:12:32 -0700 2007

# in Spanish:
>> Locale.setlocale(Locale::LC_TIME, "es_ES"); Time.now
=> mar oct 23 13:15:19 -0700 2007

# in Italian:
>> Locale.setlocale(Locale::LC_TIME, "it_IT"); Time.now
=> mar ott 23 13:15:27 -0700 2007
