Bug Description
I'm in Brussels, setting up a fresh new Xubuntu 22.04 LTS system that otherwise so far respects my settings of en-GB (with a UK keyboard)
Panel clock for some reason provides a date in Dutch. (mandaag 09 mei 2022) and it is not obvious how to persuade it to do otherwise.
I never expressed during configuration a preference for Dutch, so this would appear to be a bug.
Also note that my IP address corresponds, per whois, to an ISP in Charleroi, Wallonia, which is French-speaking.
This is apparently an issue with misconfigured locale. I'm not sure if this was set automatically (making it an Xubuntu installer bug) or if I inadvertently clicked OK on some "helpful" suggestions (though given I'd specified that I was asking the system to be in English it seems a slightly odd default); but either way it's not a bug in xfce4-panel, so this bug can be closed.
