371940 - Wrong date format for the Russian locale

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

On the Russian AMO version I see dates like "Января 5, 2007" - that's the American date format, it doesn't make sense for Russian. Correct one should be "5 января 2007". That means that /app/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/messages.po should read:

# date format string as used in PHP's strftime():
# http://php.net/strftime
msgid "date"
msgstr "%e %B %Y"

# date and time format string (strftime)
msgid "datetime"
msgstr "%e %B %Y, %H:%M"

From what I can see the month name comes from the OS so I don't know why it is capitalized but this is wrong as well.

Marking this bug as blocking Bug 369224.
This is very visible bug and Russian version of AMO should not be shipped with it.
