I asked for feedback for earlier contributors for the fi_FI locale, and got this

I didn't bother to register to Bugzilla, but after reading this
Bugzilla report, I can confirm that it looks good, a much better
format for dates than what is currently used.

I agree with this format. '%a %Bn %e. %H:%M:%S %Z %Y' is quite unusual for
Finnish and though it is possible to read it correctly it requires more effort
than the proposed '%a %-d.%-m.%Y %T %z'

For any Finnish people who might want to chime in but would like examples:

original: ke marraskuun  3. 12:01:26 EET 2004
proposed: ke 3.11.2004 12:01:45 +0200

Created an attachment (id=367)
 --> (http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=367&action=view)
Patch to fix date_fmt for fi_FI

If I understand correctly, you want to change date_fmt for fi_FI like
this:

--- fi_FI	31 Oct 2004 23:42:26 -0000	1.18
+++ fi_FI	14 Jan 2005 18:24:50 -0000
@@ -2188,9 +2188,8 @@ d_fmt    "%d.%<U
 t_fmt	  "%T"
 am_pm	  "";""
 t_fmt_ampm  ""
-date_fmt	"%a %Bn %/
-e. %H:%M:%/
-S %Z %Y"
+date_fmt	"%a %-d.%\
+-m.%Y %T %z"
 first_weekday 2 % Monday
 first_workday 2 % Monday
 END LC_TIME

The attached patch will do this change.

Obs.  I just noticed.  The trailing \ should be changed to / in
the patch.
