If we check the calendar (top right hand corner) in 13.04 with Finnish
settings we see it says "la touko" (for Saturday and May). This is
incorrect as both "la" and "touko" can be have the same meaning in
English (abbreviated Sat and May). When we check the calendar itself we
see that the week now starts from Monday, which is correct. Then we see
translated dates for the week ("ma ti ke to pe la su"), which is
incorrect. Then we again see "lauantai, 4 toukokuu 2013" in the heading,
which is incorrect. The correct would be as it is in regional settings,
"la 4. toukokuuta 2013".

In Finland "4." actually means "4th", causing that you have use that
"ta" ending for the month. There are regional ways to say full dates
meaning you can't just pick numbers and say the same thing in different
languages. I just see no reasoning why the calendar has to be in
Finnish.

Same problem can be seen with the "ls -l" command which simply truncates
textual moths from English to Finnish but still leaving time format to
incorrect "20:40", which is "20.40" in Finland. Either select US-only
output or try to be consistent with outputs. But in any case the
language should be correct if set  in locales.
