The day- and month-names can be done in local language taken from your phone/tablet language.
One problem: It won’t show 3letter day-names.
Is it my ROM or my language ??
Please try code below and share your result.

My own result, Android v5.1.1 / Dutch.
di,di,di,dinsdag,D,di,di
]]>

The result on an English N7 running 5.1.1 is:
Tue,Tue,Tue,Tuesday,T,Tue,Tue
Seems locale dependant.

Pierre Hébert English is according specs for me too. Do you happen to have a French device to try?

hhm no “Tu” ??
]]>
< ![CDATA[
With French and 5.1.1 too, the result is:
mar.,mar.,mar.,mardi,M,mar.,mar.
(notice the dots…)
Not a single “Tu”, nor a “ma”. I guess the only way to have three letters is to use the first three letters of the EEEE format.

That’s plan_B and question 2:
Are there languages where just taking first 3 letters would be wrong?
]]>
< ![CDATA[
Probably. There’s always an exception somewhere, maybe a name with less than 3 letters, such as in: http://www.cjvlang.com/Dow/dowchin.html
But we can’t handle everything, can we ?

From Spanish

thanks all for your cooperation.
From the look of this, I will take “EEEE” and take 1, 2, 3 or all letters from it.
