Some of russian weekday names are shortened incorrectly in small calendar (part of thunderbird integration). Week view shows correctly shortened weekday names.

Previous version (0.3) had only one incorrect weekday name (Thursday).

Reproducible: Always

Incorrectly shortened weekday names are underlined.

The shortened weekday names look as specified by the Russian translation team:

Attachment: [sk] Incorrectly shortened weekday names

This affects also sk locale even though shortened weekday names are localized correctly in http://lxr.mozilla.org/l10n-mozilla1.8/source/sk/calendar/chrome/calendar/dateFormat.properties#83
See screenshot.

Reassigning to Russian Sunbird Localizer for triage, though considering comment #3, it looks like Sunbird core bug, not Russian l10n's.

The bug in Sunbird (Bug 373350) will be fixed after release of Sunbird 0.5.

But for ru locale this bug is not effective because the dateFormat.properties specify the abbreviations for the day names with just one character.

If this bug is being confirmed by the Russian localizer and dateFormat.properties is updated it also requires Bug 373350 to be fixed.

As I can see, http://lxr.mozilla.org/l10n-mozilla1.8/source/ru/calendar/chrome/calendar/dateFormat.properties#83
has incorrect abbreviations for the day names (just like the screenshot).
"day.X.short" values are incorrect, while "day.X.Mmm" values are correct.

One character in the weekdays names not my idea. I have changed translation after changes in  the English dateFormat.properties (look at the English file will see 1 character in some name too).

I can return former (2 symbolical) translation and commit in CVS.

Even if "day.X.short" in Russian will be fixed, it requires Bug 373350 to be fixed to make russian weekdays names show correctly.

I think that will be best decision.
