Maybe I do not understand you correctly but the language is a property of the user (can be set in the user's Preferences screen) and hence is the date/time format as it is part of the language translation. I would expect that the Swedish agent wants to use the Swedish layout; of course if he or she want to work in the Swedish language but with an American date/time format then it becomes a different issue. Whether settings like the date/time format should be part of the language translation is of course debatable but then you get into a far more principle discussion. I think for the time being the developers made the right choice by making it part of the translation.
