GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 748284
Mixed formatting and language for date and time
Last modified: 2015-04-22 10:38:16 UTC
Just as a background for this case: I am a Brazilian living in Poland. I reinstalled my whole system from scratch 2 days ago (for the first time in a country different than mine). I am using Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 64-bits. During the installation, I selected Portuguese (Brazil) as system language, and time zone as Warsaw (since I'm in Poland). I think the system got a little bit confused with this configuration and now it is displaying date and time in a mix of Portuguese and Polish. For example, my calendar says that today is: Środka, 22 de kwiecień de 2015. To put in perspective, this would be as : Wednesday, 22 de April de 2015, if it would be same case but with english and portuguese. Expected result would be in the system language as: Quarta-feira, 22 de abril de 2015. Time zone doesn't matters (and it shouldn't be taken into account) to determine system locale during installation. This kind of mix repeats system-wide, on Cinnamon and on GNOME Shell (both are GTK3-based, so it is expected). There is a question on askubuntu on the subject here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/612364/mixed-formatting-and-language-for-date-and-time And this same issue has been reported on 2012 and marked as resolved, but I'm experiencing it on 2015: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659185
