Research direction

Start by reproducing the date/time display in Cinnamon on Linux Mint with the Portugal locale, then trace the locale-specific date formatting entry point. Done means the display matches “Segunda, 15 de setembro, 16:40” consistently while other locales remain unchanged; no file or test is named in the issue.
