Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Wingpanel Date & Time Indicator after changing the user language and then the system language, logging out and back in after each change. Trace where the indicator obtains and formats its language setting. Done means the date indicator updates to the selected language in both scenarios.

Description

I changed my user language from german to swedish, logged out and in again, but the indicator did not change the language.
I then changed the system language to swedish, after logging in again the indicator language did not change to swedish.
