Description Ferry Huberts 2012-11-01 15:22:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
The calendar (top-middle) seems to be localised to the time zone of the system, instead of to the language setting of the system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell.x86_64 3.4.1-6.fc17

How reproducible:
always

My system: everything is in English, but the time zone is Amsterdam, so the calendar shows itself in Dutch

Comment 2 Ferry Huberts 2012-11-01 15:39:15 UTC 
I see now that evolution does the same in its calendar widgets, so it seems that it's somewhere deeper in gnome.

evolution's main calendar widget also has the abbreviated day names wrongly localised
Comment 3 Ferry Huberts 2012-11-01 16:14:20 UTC 
Ah, maybe it's because I have in the control centre, under 'Region and Language', under 'Format', selected 'Nederlands (Dutch)'.

I noticed this because my other system did not have this problem; there I selected 'Ireland (English)' to work around the problem (can't remember when though).

I'd propose that localising dates because of this setting is not done correctly: names of days and months must not be localised.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 02:01:50 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

seems to have been fixed
