When you commit a revision there are three "special" properties that
are associated with the revision:

svn:log - the commit message you provided
svn:date - the date/time on the server when the revision is created
svn:author - the username you authenticated with to the repository

I do not know how you could start having this problem. There is a
pretty good chance that it is a problem with the server configuration.
 Maybe the server process is not running with an environment set to
identify a proper locale or something?
