remove "th" date suffix

[madrakas]

Login screen date shows "th" after day in other languages (this should be in english only).

[Cody Garver (codygarver)]

Dutch: "Date format has changed during a recent update, but is still not correct.

See attached image for current situation. ("woensdag 17th of oktober")

Right format would be: "woensdag 17 oktober""

[Cody Garver (codygarver)]

Portuguese: "Suffixes like -th, -nd and -st doesn't exists in others languages like portuguese."

[Damien (youpla-b)]

Don't have this on my French version. Maybe it's something that was left out by some translators? I remember there was a bug in the english version putting -th everywhere, 1th, 2th, 3th, 4th... (Can't find it anymore though) Maybe fixing this bug changed some strings and made the suffix appear in all translation until it's taken out by the translator?

[Eduard Gotwig (gotwig)]

I don't see that as well. You can specify a time format with the specific chars, see timeformats from 'date'

[Corentin Noël (tintou)]

Okay It seems that only french and english people use this, so maybe I'll insert a special code for it

[viaimpedita (viaimpedita-u)]

Also in italian language i have "giovedì aprile 11 th"

[viaimpedita (viaimpedita-u)]

Todàay for me bug is fixed, i don't know why, but suffix -th isn't here!

[Fabio Zaramella (fabiozaramella)]

I don't have the suffix, currently on an italian setup i have "martedì 7 ottobre"

[Stinger (e-mindahl)]

Just updated and the bug is still present in Danish language, it says "onsdag, oktober 8th"
Confirming bug.
Ps.
Right format would be "onsdag, 8 oktober"

[ProsjektX (prosjektx)]

This string is in the translations, so e.g. for Danish, change the first translation string here on Launchpad to "%A, %e %B"

[Corentin Noël (tintou)]

Well, after my pool on the community, it seems that only French is using a similar system on the "1st", however it is not available in the current GLib functions so in order to not break translation consistency, I think it is better to not add this.

[Maxim Taranov (png2378)]

For display "th" meets '%v' in translation files.

We don't need the/nd in English, either. Honestly just removing it altogether may be the best solution.

[Danielle Foré (danrabbit)]

It sounds like the simplest solution is just not to have th/nd. We don't use these in the panel and it seems that in other major software (like the locksreen for iOS or Android) that th/nd is not used.
