Datetime Indicator Does not Respect Global Language Settings

[John M.K.]

On changing the datetime indicator settings to also include Weekday and Month, I get the letters in greek (e.g. "Πεμ Απρ 25" instead of "Τhu Apr 25").

I haven't set Greek as the default language on my system, I assume this happens because it located my computer in Athens (for timezone automatic recovery, during installation).

Other than that, everything else works correctly (app menus, etc all in English).

I have the same problem. My timezone is Ljubljana / Slovenia. Day and month are indicated in Slovenian language instead of English which is my default system language.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
