Description Caleb

2011-09-10 03:18:17 EDT

Build Identifier: 

In Hebrew, the days of the week contain the word "day" (or יום in Hebrew), for example:
Sunday - יום ראשון
Monday - יום שני
...
Friday - יום שישי
Saturday - שבת

As you can see the days are called "Day One", "Day Two", and Saturday is just called Sabbath.

This is problematic because the Calendar displays the first letter of the day of the week, and it ends up being "י" for all the days except Saturday.

Reproducible: Always

proposed patch

The patch proposes to use getShortWeekdays() which returns the proper results for Hebrew, and shouldn't interfere with other locales (for example, in English it would return Sun for Sunday, but it's OK since we're going to use the first letter anyway).
