Bug Description

Urdu is the official language in Pakistan but people don't use their computers OR mobile phones in Urdu. When installing Ubuntu with country set to Pakistan during installation, system date ends up being in Urdu afterwards (even though I selected English as language). I am not sure when that changed but whoever changed it made a mistake (probably in debian). We need to fix that.

I am willing to create a patch if someone tells me the right package to fix that in. Lets get this sorted before 18.04

The calendar is also affected, its currently displayed in Urdu and it should much rather be displayed in English.
