Description mbalk 2016-08-17 20:37:09 UTC 
Currently weekdays are abbreviated with three letters. That is not correct.

According to chapter 5.3.3 in
https://www.bk.admin.ch/dokumentation/sprachen/04915/05016/index.html?lang=de&download=NHzLpZeg7t,lnp6I0NTU042l2Z6ln1acy4Zn4Z2qZpnO2Yuq2Z6gpJCHe393gWym162epYbg2c_JjKbNoKSn6A--
weekdays have to be abbreviated with two letters and without a dot, e.g.
"Mo" for Montag (Monday), "Di" for Dienstag (Tuesday) and so on.
