Finnish language pack date input bug

I have a problem where the issue creator "due date" date entry calendar applet outputs dates in a format that the system doesn't support. I think this only affects Finnish language pack though.

The system date format is d/MMM/yy, which is completely fine in english pack as the date is in that format from the calendar app. The calendar outputs it as "30/JAN/18" and is recognized by the system.

The Finnish language pack calendar outputs it as "30/Tammi/18" and the issue creator gives an error about this. The only way is to get it to work is to manually enter the date in the format required.

I can not change the system date setting to take the Finnish format as it would screw it up for the english language users. Also, the finnish language months do not have a fixed amount of chars even in the "stub" version like "tammi", so I cant make the system use that.

I think this either has to be fixed in the language pack, so that the months are in the same format as in the english version, e.g. "TAM, HEL, MAA" etc. or the date entering calendar app would be changed to do the language conversion so that the dialog between the calendar and the system would use some standardized date format and only the user UI would show it localized.
