Adding Rami so he can confirm this, since I am not a native speaker :) UX specs on p.4 state: "Time display may vary depending on locale and user preference. Default display is in military format; dates appear in the following order: Year > Month > Date > Time." Just want to check in that this is respected here.
Rami: is this in fact wrong order here - and if so, is this something that can you correct by changing the strings? If it is, I'll change this bug's component
thanks!

Delphine,
The format of date usually in our region is 
Year - Month - Day - day of the week (from right to left)
To have the Month before the day (from right to left) is uncommon.
If you have the sting I can take a look and see if it can be fixed by localization

Thanks for this input Rami!
You can easily find the strings you are looking for thanks to Transvision l10n/QA tool: http://transvision.mozfr.org/
In drop down menu, choose master gaia and then choose your source locale and target locale. I wanted to do the search for you but realize that in this specific case, I'd need to input the same Arabic text as in the screenshot to find the string, and I can't do that from my current keyboard layout (and don't have that knowledge :P )
To get a result here, I would have put ar under Source locale and ar under target locale, and searched for the string that shows up in the screenshot. The available strings will show up and you'll be able to see where it is located. hope this helps! This is a very helpful tool for localizers - let me know if you run into any issues!

Thanks Delphine for the tool really helpful.
I think this is resolved after I fixed this bug 1141949, right?

I have verified it on Flame 3.0, and it looks like this is in fact fixed on today's 3.0, the date shown as day of week, day, month, year from right to left in language settings view.
