> German region format obviously also emtails German day and month names. That's really quite obvious.

No it's not obvious at all and it's shouldn't be that way. If I set my language somewhere it should be applied everywhere. I want Monday as first day of the week, not Montag.

Other companies that seem incapable of getting language right: Microsoft and Google.

Uhm, why exactly should that be the case? I think you should think over your assumptions. Date format and date names are intertwined, you cannot separate the two.

[Semaphor]

No they are not? How are they intertwined? One is language, one is style.

That is not even mentioning that "ISO 8601 Data elements and interchange formats – Information interchange – Representation of dates and times" puts Monday as day one.

Plus all the clients that aren't broken and can separate language from style.

Oh well, I think I got trolled -.-
