Calendar language won't change on Ubuntu Gnome 17.04
I'm super new to this forum and just installed Ubuntu Gnome 17.04. Previously I had Ubuntu 16.10. What I would like to ask is that if there's a way to change time format on the calendar. I did select my region the Netherlands format and went all the way through checking my time locale which is LC_TIME="nl.NL.UTF-8". My main locale for the whole system is in English (us_US.UTF-8). It does show Dutch time format but only on the login screen. Once I enter my desktop the calendar is in English. I'll attach a screen-captured image of the trouble.

I don't get it. Your language is English, so the app shows English. Do you just want to change the date format at the top-panel? 25 Aug instead of Aug 25 ?

Can you show us what the commandcat /etc/default/localeoutputs?

If you want to change the format of the date, time ,... you can do that by going to settings -> region & language -> format

@GunnarHjalmarsson it's already LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8 and as the matter of fact, I noticed that my whole operating system is not entirely in English. Some actually in Dutch.

That's actually what I thought too, changing region but to no avail. I had to reconfigure the locale and put the default in English and simply configure the region and format using Dutch system. It worked on my Ubuntu 16.10 previously. @lolo

Okay guys, I managed to get this through.
I went to
dconf-editorand enter system/locale/region and activate "use default value". Previously before I activated it, it showed my time locale (locale | grep TIME) asLC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8.
Using terminal would be:
gsettings reset org.gnome.system.locale region
- Then I logged off and logged in back
The calendar appeared using Dutch system which corresponded with my regional format setting.
