Title:
  Language of date in indicator-datetime is pulled from the Region
  setting, not the Language one

Status in elementary OS:
  Invalid
Status in The Date and Time Indicator:
  New

Bug description:
  Well, this is a weird bug report(maybe a bit funny) but I thought
  something could be done about it...

  First, the date at the time panel seems to show up not in the system
  language I set up (English) and shows up in Portuguese instead.
  Secondly, the week day is shown in the top panel with an abbreviation.
  Therefore, in Portuguese the work for Friday is Sexta(-feira) and it
  will show up as... Erm... Sex.

  This would perfectly OK if the date were to be shown in Portuguese
  while I had the OS in that language, but the merge with the English
  one might not be so bright?

  I literally spotted this because a German friend of mine was looking
  at my computer and started giggling at it.

  
  I know this is a pretty "in the spot" issue but maybe the developer team should either put the time and date in the system language or just remove the abbreviation and use Sexta instead since I think most of the screen resolutions can handle some more letters.

  Please check the screenshot attached.
