I see two possible solution for your problem:

1) You wrap your svn command inside to windows bat-script, which will
   set language settings for that command so that it won't use native
   names.

2) With coming 1.2.x you could use fixed length keywords, so if
   you set the fixed length keyword field too short, then the rest of
   the field will be cut of.

  /* Check for fixed-length expansion.
   * The format of fixed length keyword and its data is
   * Unexpanded keyword: "$keyword:: $"
   * Expanded keyword: "$keyword:: value $"
   * Expanded kw with filling: "$keyword:: value $"
   * Truncated keyword: "$keyword:: longval#$"
   */

Like that:
$LastChangedDate:: 2005-04-05 18:10:11 +0300 #$

BR, Jani

P.S. Oh, I forgot to mention the third option:
3) You will not commit anything during kesäkuu or heinäkuu. =)
