On Fedora 20 Alpha, gnome-shell-3.9.92-3.fc20.x86_64

Use “gnome-control-center region” to set the language (LANG)
and the “formats” (LC_TIME, LC_NUMERIC, ...) to Japanese, German,
or to different languages.

For the results see the attached screen shots.

Top left:     LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
    (completely German, looks fine)

Top right:    LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=ja_JP.UTF-8
    (weird mix of German and Japanese date formats, looks wrong
    in either language)

Bottom left:  LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
    (weird mix of German and Japanese date formats, looks wrong
    in either language)

Bottom right: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 LC_TIME=ja_JP.UTF-8
    (completely Japanese, looks fine)

Same problem in the time and date display in the panel.

is related, it talks about this problem. But I think the bug reporter
is mistaken, one should *not* mix the names from one language
into the date formats of another language.
