GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 659187
Calendar drop down weekdays should match the language used for the date

Created attachment 196673 [details] screenshot Similar to bug 659185. My Language is English. My region is the Netherlands. For dates it shows the Dutch names for the days. E.g. "donderdag" instead of "Thursday". In the calendar dropdown it shows: "donderdag september 15, 2011" (order is wrong, bug 659185) So if it uses "d" for Thursday, I expect the week overview to also have a "d". Week correctly starts on a Monday btw. What I'd expect: M D W D V Z Z (in English this would be: Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun)
PS: we do not use capitals for weekdays (or months) in the Netherlands. Not sure if you still want to force it. + I've set the show-weeknr gsettings bit, but do not think it matters.

This is still happening to me with the 3.6.2. Region is Swedish, language is English. Notice that the days are displayed correctly above the day-of-the-week indicator (lowercase 'torsdag' instead of 'Tuesday'). Maybe doing something like getting the first character of each weekday could solve both issues (wrong case and wrong letter).
The following fix has been pushed: 5a47ad8 calendar: Use LC_TIME to translate day headers
