Bug ID: 67431
Summary: Wikipedia app should not use Android's built-in

Finnish Wikipedia's main page viewed through the Android app on the Nokia X
The app shows the page's "Last modified" date at the footer of the page, above
the "content is available under CC-BY-SA" message. The date that follows the
"Last modified" text is formatted according to the operating system's
language...which poses a problem when your language isn't supported by the OS.
Case in point: the Nokia X and Finnish. Nokia X is available "in select
countries", and Finland isn't one of those countries. It doesn't stop me from
using the X here nor from installing MoreLocale 2 to have the supported apps
use their Finnish localization. With such a setup, the Wikipedia app renders
nicely in Finnish, save for that footer "Last modified" date. When viewing the
main page of Finnish Wikipedia, it says "Viimeksi päivitetty December 30, 2013"
in the footer instead of the expected and desired output, "Viimeksi päivitetty
30. joulukuuta 2013". For the English Wikipedia, the text is "Viimeksi
päivitetty April 13" instead of "Viimeksi päivitetty 13. huhtikuuta".
Maybe the screenshot helps a bit.
