Time stamp format is not respecting system locale nor language settings

Description
Hi!
The timestamp format in listed recordings is wd M/D/YYYY h:mm:ss. This is backwards to what I want and is very counterintuitive, and contradicts both my system locale and language settings in tvheadend! The program should be less US-sentric.
Moreover, short weekday (wd) is translated according to the language setting but the rest (time stamp format) is not.
Curiously, in EPG window, the time format is different (possibly because year is not relevant information). Here it is "Wd, Month DD, HH:MM". Month is a truncated finnish month name. This format does not conform to any finnish date format and is very awkward, but at least is easier to understand since I do not need to guess which number is date and which is month (since there is only one :-) ! )
Suggestion: Time stamps should be shown according to system locale or the language setting in tvheadend. As a lower priority, there should be more control over this; for example, does the user want to see the weekday at all or will jsut the date suffice, is a matter of taste. OTOH, it might bve easier to give the user the option to define the timestamps rather than using system locale. I have no idea what kind of libraries / utilities exist which could spit out timestamp specs according to the locale and/or language (I presume this is a common need and there must be some solutions out there).
Another issue is that the default fields in the WEeb UI are 99% of the time too small and do not show relevent information (time of day, but only some of the date). User needs to adjust the width of these fields constantly.
