Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34603
Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
Clock applet does not show international ISO-6801 date format, even
though EN_DK locale "English (Danish)" is enabled.
Instead, the clock still shows the US date "Sun Mar 12, 16:49". It
should show "2006-03-12 16:49".
Most users like to use English user interface, but not US units and
dates. Instead, most of the world uses the metric system (SI-system) and
will probably be adopting ISO-8601 dates (like "2006-03-12 16:39").
Suggestion:
- make Clock (gnome-panel) respect EN_DK locale
and
- add ISO-8601 format to Clock:Preferences (it already has 24h option for time)
I am using Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy with gnome-panel 2.12.1-0ubuntu. In gdm login, I
chose Languages:English (Danish) as recommended in
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-ISO-locale
~$ locale
LANG=en_DK.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_DK.UTF-8"
LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8
LC_COLLATE="en_DK.UTF-8"

LC_TELEPHONE="en_DK.UTF-8"

ISO-8601 date format is the recommendation of ISO and W3C:
