Description Prashanth Mohan 2006-07-14 03:28:51 UTC 
in Evolutions Calendar

Create an appointment.

It reports 12th July as Sunday whereas it should be monday. In fact every date is being reported as Sunday.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2006-07-14 13:17:16 UTC 
huh? what is your LOCALE? which version is this exactly? *where exactly* is this reported?
Comment 2 Prashanth Mohan 2006-07-14 13:37:00 UTC 
~$ evolution --version
Gnome evolution-2.6 2.6.1
~$ locale

Where?

Evolution --> File --> New --> Appointment

In the appointment form, under the text boxes for specifying the date and time. The date field says `Sunday 14 July 2006'. In the field `Sunday' does not change change for any date, although calendar that appears when i click on the drop down button shows the day correctly.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2006-07-14 14:08:53 UTC 
evil. i can confirm this, yes.
this happens with every date chooser widget, also due date in tasks.

i guess it's a translation issue, because evolution still abuses the translators to "translate" cryptic time format strings instead of using %x - see bug 336253.

(and what happens if there is no po file for en_IN in evolution/po/ ? hmm.)

anyway, be happy - only sundays, no more working days! ;-)

Comment 8 Suman Manjunath 2008-01-17 05:24:16 UTC 
I had a brief look at the relevant code... seems like Evolution does use %x
Using Evolution from SVN trunk.. 2.21.5
