GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 687714
lock-screen date should follow gnome-panel date format
Last modified: 2014-11-08 16:48:24 UTC
gnome-shell lock-screen shows date on (fixed) English format (full-weekday-name, full-month-name day) instead, it should use the same gnome-panel date format, which follows the selected language/locale
The format is translatable already: /* Translators: This is a time format for a date in long format */ this._date.text = date.toLocaleFormat(_("%A, %B %d"));
It was, and now it isn't. See bug 739822. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 739822 ***
