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.
