That's funny. On the Walloon locale it does display the date in English on
the fuzzy clock and in Walloon in the normal one. Where doe these date
strings come from? Apparently not from
plasma_applet_fuzzy_clock.po<http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/branches/stable/l10n-kde4/wa/messages/kdeplasma-addons/plasma_applet_fuzzy_clock.po>
 as
its 100% translated.
