How do I stop SDL from putting the week day in front of dates, eg Wednesday December 31, 2014?
You've never seen anyone complaining, because most people I know knew this and have switched this off to have a date WITHOUT the weekday.
And the rest are n00bs who have no clue that such setting exists... with approximately same "skilled" clients, who didn't notice ;-)
You've never seen anyone complaining, because most people I know knew this and have switched this off to have a date WITHOUT the weekday. From nearly 30 years of experience - I've NEVER seen a document, where a weekday would be used in the date. But it is sitting there since Trados 3.0 or even earlier... This should NOT be the default, but can fairly remain an option.
ok... then Daniel Brockmann can review this and decide whether he thinks it should be changed or not.

Thank you.
Indeed I've never been complaining about that, as I simply switched this off. Neither in German nor in Polish (and from what I see also in English) it is standard to use weekdays in long dates. Maybe on special occasions, when the weekday counts (Easter holiday for example) it might be useful, but this should be optional.
Thank you.

I totally agree with Jerzy, Adrian and Evzen. It can in very rare situations be useful to have this option with the weekdays, but please don't define the long format with the weekday as a default setting. I constantly have to point people to where they can turn this option off.
I also agree that it should not be the default. It's certainly not the rule in Spanish to add the days of the week if they were not in the source, so I've disabled it and have had to set up a verification rule to catch any instances I may miss.
