Hello!

Same problem here. The date is also missing when looking at the calendar from the panel.
EDIT: on the lockscreen the date is also malformed.

may be caused by the language, no such error on el or cn ones, should be a bug.

@laoguang: thank you for the information!

I have filed a bug report on Github: https://github.com/linuxdeepin/dde-control-center/issues/8

I hope that is the right place :-)

In the meantime, open a terminal and type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Then select your time zone, etc. and it should work.

Your advice unfortunately did not solve the display problems described above.

Switching the time zone etc. is possible by using the Deepin Control Center.

In addition the updates from yesterday did not fix this bug.

My guess

So, I found that the malformed date in greek is "ηηηη, ηη ΜΜΜΜ εε". I guess "η" comes from "ημέρα", wich means day, "M" comes from "Μήνας", wich means month and "ε" comes from "έτος", wich means year. I also guess that where 2 letters are a number should have been there, and where 4 letters are a word should have been. Which means, that the variable taken from the translation file is wrong, which means that the code should be updated to support the translation file better.

I'm not sure about the programming language, but I guess the day variable in german returns sometimes "CET" or "t", which "t" I think comes from the word "tag", wich means day. And the year variable in german returns "j" wich I also guess it's from the word "jahr" wich in German means year.

Also, assuming that this doesn't affect English and Chineese, I guess English and Chineese languages are in sepperate translation file from the other languages which I think that makes the translation quite unstable.

Am I the programming Sherlock Holmes?
