I'm kind of amused, checked the bug you linked and comment #18 was particularily amusing

Conclusions:

- Our plan is to allow users to select not only 12/24h but most (all?) of their
locale definition through a proper UI in the Settings. This would include
setting preferences for date formats, currencies, sorting types...

Anyway, did as you said, results are somewhat mixed. en_US and de_CH results in calendar being partially in German (Donnerstag instead of Thursday) but dates are still 11/03 instead of 11.03. I guess I'll have to live with that

But the 3 years ago somewhat promised extensive setting panel for language and region settings would rock. Something other mobile platforms are actually ahead of maemo, for years already. Think of the otherwise very limited Windows Mobile platform which does indeed provide quite extensive settings for language and region settings.
