Hi,

I don't think it is about a wrongly translated string, but more about the
combination of regional choices that makes the langage mecanism choose the
locale in german (all my interface is in right english but my calendar and
days of weeks in softwares).

I guess it is something because of:
- in Belgium we have 3 official languages: Dutch, German, French
- I chose in my settings english language with Belgium format and Belgian
keyboard
- so maybe since there is no english locales for belgium, maybe the code is
written to go by default for german locales strings

What do you think?

Title:
  day of week in german despite i configured the system in english

Status in language-pack-en package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Description
  -----------
  I chose the english language and live in Belgium. So I chose Brussels for the Time Zone, and the Belgian keymap.

  The Ubuntu date & time applet, in the top bar of the Ubuntu desktop
  interface shows me "Son HH:MM", Son standing for "Sonntag" which is
  german. I don't get why there is german in my interface since I
  configured this language nowhere but English.

  Expected Behavior
  ------------------
  Having the day of week in English.

  My configuration to reproduce the problem
  -----------------------------------------
  Here is the region & language configuration as seen in the settings pannel:
  Language: English (United States)
  Formats : Belgien
  Input Sources: Belgian

  In the "Date & Time" settings:
  Time Zone: CEST (Brussels, Belgium)
