jIQoch.

Although I *always* follow the canon examples, I do not agree with this 
one to use it on Facebook. In this case I am speaking for
a) those who do not know this one example and
b) those who are not familiar with calling sunday as day 1.

It is obvious that if MO translated this himself, he did not think about 
international standards, but just did it this way because that's just 
how he's used to do it. (if he were from europe, he'd done it differently).

I suggest to keep weekdays untranslated. It's not "nice" in a visible 
point, but it's the most usable way inside Facebook.

Lieven.
