I have been trying for a long time to find a way to change the calendar
to display Monday as the first day of the week. I thought this should be
an option and have searched for this setting. Even better if this is set
by default. I would also like to have the clock displayed in 24h format

I totally agree with Kristoffer, Emanuel, Per and Mattias! It's not at all
uncommon to use english as a language while in sweden. I don't understand why I
can't select Sweden as my locale and English as the language for the system.
It's just one of those things a basic swedish Ubuntu-user would
If you boil it down, the most glaring issue here is the fact that the
Gnome Panel development team decided to remove the possibility to set
the first day of the week from the Calendar preferences. Why they did so
is anyone's guess, it is a desirable feature and removing is a pretty
stupid idea.
This is covered in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec
/desktop-karmic-language-selector-karmic
As I said, we won't fix that. There is no way we would create all
possible combinations of languages and countries, it would not make any
sense, and would be a maintenance nightmare. This is
I agree with Sigmund
I work from Spain using Ubuntu/gnome/... in Englis,h so far so good, but
for us in Spain weeks starts on Monday.
If you look at evolution or other calendars, they allow you to tweak
this fact ( Monday / Sunday start ) from the GUI. It does not make much
sense to go to
My 2 cents.
I agree with nord73:
This is certainly no trolling.
I am an Italian who does his everyday work in plain English only and I have
come here by just looking for a solution to this annoying issue I thought it
had been already solved.
As usual, the community cannot be looked at
Please stop trolling. I already acknowledged several times that such a
GUI is missing, and explained how you can locally configure it for
your system. Mixing different languages/locales is not something a
casual user is concerned with, so it's not the OMGkittensdie issue you
make it appear as.
Kristoffer Lundén [2009-04-22 18:05 -]:
1. don't decide weekday based on *language* choice of the installing
user, because that has nothing to do with it
We don't.
2. set the *default* based on location, which has everything to do
with it
We do. That's why a locale has a country in it,
The better solution here is to provide an UI for selecting the LC_*
variables, not to proliferate arbitrary locales like en_SE (which does
not make much sense). Such a GUI thing is planned already.
If you want to have different locales for messages and time, then
setting LC_* is not a hack, it's
Martin, this issue has been up many times during at least the last 3-4
years in forums, lists and various bug trackers. The system is
fundamentally broken IMO, and this is for some reason the suggested way
to go about fixing it.
The *correct* way to fix it would be to:
1. don't decide weekday
And oh, again, I don't ever want to have to fiddle with LC_* variables
or even know that they exist for this to work, as they do in any other
major OS. That was fine in the 90's. If it's supposed to be in a GUI, it
better be the option week starts on as it is in any say calendaring
program.

Oh, and there is no en_SE locale ATM.

It was fixed for sv_SE. By your description, I assume that you use
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ?
If you want English messages, but Swedish monetary, time, measurement
etc. conventions, set LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, and LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 .

This bug is not, repeat NOT about being able to use silly workarounds;

This bug is about one thing, and one thing only: getting the same proper

I've recently written a locale specification for en_SE available at
http://www.stacken.kth.se/~auno/en_SE which suits my needs (and probably
those of others in Sweden), but some questions (included in the locale
specification as comments) should be answered before this locale is
included in Ubuntu
This has not been fixed.
I've just installed Jaunty alpha 6, with locales 2.9+cvs200914-6
installed and it still displays Sunday first in the week.
I have configured the system to use English, and set my location to
Stockholm, Sweden multiple times (in install and then in clock applet)

This has just been fixed in jaunty's locales package

Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention, which is also in that other bug
I have always run my OSs in English, as do many others in Sweden, both
Swedes and guests. The weeks starting on Sundays in Ubuntu has bugged
me. I want to be able to choose this myself. Weeks start on Mondays in
Sweden.
So this is indeed an issue that bothers me and many others, I think.
Thank
I totally agree too, but I mean, why the heck does the calender starts
on sunday in america? Isn't that wierd? ;)

I confirm that this is an issue. English desktop but Swedish locale

my session for achieving this but that is of course hard for a new user

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make

any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue
for you? Thanks in advance.
