Parent is spot on. Just to drive to point, I completely agree with points 3-5, on point 2 I would demand only ISO 8601, and regarding point 1 my weeks would absolutely have to start on Sunday. The UI language is almost not even a consideration.

Now let me add point 6: Proper RTL support in user-entered strings and data.

The ISO 8601 calendar week starts on Monday. I'd be interested in reading why it's such an important point for you, though. I'm an American and having the week start on Monday makes absolutely no difference to me.

In my language we call Sunday "First day", we call Monday "Second day", and so on until Saturday which is called "Day of Rest". Additionally, our work week starts on Sunday.
