This seems to be a RTL issue.

Comment 3

[William Hsu [:whsu]]

Hi, Gareth,

May I have your help?
The date shows incorrect date format in RTL languages. Could we fix it?

Comment 4

[Gareth Aye [:gaye] (back from PTO)]

Sure yeah I will take a look. Thanks for sending along.

Seems like this bug fell through the cracks. Gareth: is it still possible to get a fix for this? I know we're past CC but I'm nominating this bug since an incorrect date format is just plain wrong.

Josh: can you please advise if this should be a 2.2 blocker at this point? thanks

Comment 8

[Josh Cheng [:josh]]

Hi Delphine,
I would like to wait response from Gareth to see whether this is easy fix. Actually I do not think this is really blocker at this moment as user still able to understand and adjust time base on current implementation.  
Thanks!

[Dylan Oliver [:doliver]]

The date format is read from the system l10n settings -- is the date format displaying differently in Calendar than it does in Clock/System/etc.?

Comment 10

[Miller Medeiros [:millermedeiros]]

FYI calendar should be using the `dateTimeFormat_%x` to display this date; according to Transvision the "ar" is supposed to be correct (year/month/day): https://transvision.mozfr.org/?recherche=shared%2Fdate%2Fdate.properties%3AdateTimeFormat_%25x&repo=gaia&sourcelocale=en-US&locale=ar&search_type=entities&case_sensitive=case_sensitive

PS: I did not try it on a recent build with arabic locale tho (I'm working on other bugs that depends on custom Gecko/Gaia..), just wanted to share where the date format comes from.

Hi Dylan,
The date format is shown as day, month, year from right to left in Clock, Contacts, Settings etc.
Per comment 10 for Miller, the date format in Calendar should be shown as "Y%/m%/d%", on latest Flame KK v2.2/v2.5 and N5 v2.2/v2.5 build, this issue cannot be reproduced and the date format in add new event of Calendar is day, month, year from right to left now.
Please refer to the attachment:Flame_v2.2.png.
So we can mark it as "RESOLVED WORKSFORME".
