Bug Description

Look at the screenshot. Instead of displaying the current year number, it displays %OY.

How to reproduce:
- Go to "Language support" in the system setting
- Change the Ubuntu interface language to Persian (fa).
- Log out and log back in.
- Click on the date time indicator on the top panel to open the calendar.
- Look at the current year which should be displayed above the calendar table, i.e. above "Mon" and "Sun".

What should happen:
- You should see there the year number, e.g. 2013, 2014, etc.

What happens:
- You see this string: "%OY"

Just reviewed & edited the fa translation package. Must be ok now. Please reinstall the package & if the bug was still there, it wouldn't be a translation bug, & should be reported to Devs. Thank you.

Sebastien, thanks a lot for actually finding th string. Is the trivial replacement of %OY with %Y (as has been already suggested by one of the translators) enough to fix the issue?

I don't have permission to change the translation, although I believe I am a member of fa translation team.
