Hi Nicolas, thanks for the bug report.

On quick inspection, I can't see why this is happening.
Occasionally, native german speakers will accidentally translate strings that 
are supposed to be under 'english (US/GB/CA/AU)' into German, however, as this 
affects English US (the default language that is taken as-is without any 
intervention from translators on launchpad's side - i.e. as the developers 
originally wrote the strings), English US should be ok. I also can't see 
anything in indicator-datetime that has been accidentally uploaded in German to 
begin with?

Are you missing any required locale packages?
If it's not accepting English US for some strange reason, could you try 
uninstalling any German locale packages (language-pack-de and 
language-pack-de-base) (perhaps also language-pack-gnome-de and 
language-pack-gnome-de-base to be safe) and be sure you have the "en" 
equivalents. 
Not sure why it isn't configuring the language properly.

Failing that, what happens if you switch your language to English UK? I
can personally vouch for English UK being fine as our team gets every
single string finished for the next ubuntu release, so everything's been
checked over (almost certainly by yours truly ;) )

Title:
  day of week in german despite i configured the system in english

Status in language-pack-en package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Description
  -----------
  I chose the english language and live in Belgium. So I chose Brussels for the 
Time Zone, and the Belgian keymap.

  The Ubuntu date & time applet, in the top bar of the Ubuntu desktop
  interface shows me "Son HH:MM", Son standing for "Sonntag" which is
  german. I don't get why there is german in my interface since I
  configured this language nowhere but English.

  Expected Behavior
  ------------------
  Having the day of week in English.

  My configuration to reproduce the problem
  -----------------------------------------
  Here is the region & language configuration as seen in the settings pannel:
  Language: English (United States)
  Formats : Belgien
  Input Sources: Belgian

  In the "Date & Time" settings:
  Time Zone: CEST (Brussels, Belgium)
