*** Bug 676364 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

In panels/region/cc-format-chooser.c

        dt = g_date_time_new_now_local ();
        display_date (priv->full_date, dt, "%A %e %B %Y");
        display_date (priv->medium_date, dt, "%e %b %Y");
        display_date (priv->short_date, dt, "%x");
        display_date (priv->time, dt, "%X");


A solution is to remove these two hard coded date formats. They are useless anyway.

Or they can be "translated", but then the UI will be out of the purpose of displaying the time locale information.

Maybe only locale aware full formats can be used, like:

        display_date (priv->date, dt, "%x");
        display_date (priv->time, dt, "%X");
        display_date (priv->date_time, dt, "%a");

Use %x,%X and %c formats only

OK, here is my proposal. Remove the formats and only use locale-aware "%x", "%X" and "%c".

Any opinion? This old bug is quite obvious.

I recently noticed this error. As a translator (the Czech language) I agree with using formats %c, %x and %X as examples and I ask for early commit. The current form is confusing for users.

Any progress here would be appreciated.
