User-Agent:       Opera/9.62 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X; U; pl) Presto/2.1.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; pl; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081222 Calendar/1.0pre

I'm using Polish build and instead of Polish short versions of week days, I get some weird letters that are not available in our locale (I've contacted the l10n team already). The situation looks like that:
– instead of "pn" there's "po"
– instead of "wt" there's "út" (see screenshot)
– instead of "śr" there's "st"
– instead of "cz" there's "ãt"
– instead of "pt" there's "pá"
– instead of "sb" there's "so"
– instead of "nd" there's "ne"

All other views display correct days names.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Calendar.
2. Start it.
3. Check the day view.
Actual Results:  
It displays weird short names that have nothing to do with l10n terms used.

Expected Results:  
Display proper short day names.
May be blocking if confirmed!
Flags: blocking-calendar1.0?
Is this a Mac OS X only issue? 

I don't see the issue using the latest available l10n build Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; pl; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081219 Calendar/1.0pre (BuildID: 20081219033507).

It is Mac only.
These look like (mangled?) abbreviations of Slovak days of the week.

This is probably not Sunbird-specific, I've just found the mangled (Slovak?) weekday names in Shiretoko's cookie properties dialog, as seen on this screenshot.

Axel, can you help here?

Sounds like this should be moved to Core : Internationalization (?) in that case.
Similar to bug 472960, might be an artifact of the same problem.

The root cause is Bug 472960.
But the case of Calender should be Bug 472666 because calDateTimeFormatter does not specify locale explicitly, and should be fixed by backing out Bug 441167.
Is this still reproducible now?

and also Cookie dialog in Firefox, and so on
I've tested with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; pl; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20090128 Shiretoko/3.1b3pre under Polski system locale.
Is this correct in Polish?
It seems something differ from Comment #0.

Because in comment #0 we have 2-letter forms but here 3-letter forms.

This is correct.
This is resolved per Comment #12.
