Public bug reported: # Affected version
I'm using wayland on Ubuntu 22.10 with GNOME Shell 43.1. # Bug summary The date displayed on the top bar follows format [Month(short)] [day] [time]: ``` mar 30 08:59 ``` This date format makes sense in english, but not in spanish or catalan, nor probably most languages in existence. In spanish it is even worse, because "marzo" (march) and "martes" (tuesday) both start with "mar", so it looks like it has been tuesday for the past 30 days; particularly since [weekday] [day] is a common format, whereas [month] [day] is not a format at all. The lockscreen shows a similar format [weekday] [month] [day]. This one is wrong, but not confusing. It reads like a bad machine translation. ``` martes marzo 30 ``` I initially opened [upstream](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome- shell/-/issues/6558) and was redirected here. ** Affects: gnome-desktop (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Image of the desktop.
