The calendar in Ubuntu is not in English. I've installed on two separate machines and the language is still the same. The language system wide is English.

What language does it look like? – blade19899 Dec 24 '13 at 08:50

It shows **Qibxata, 24 Muddee 2013** as todays date. Am sure this is not English but not sure what language it is. But all in all, this the best version of Ubuntu I've installed in 6 Years – Samuel Wanjiku Dec 24 '13 at 08:56

Go to System Settings, then to Language Support. From there open the second tab which is named "Regional Formats". Then change the drop down bar's content from "Arabic" to the English language variant you like and you're all set.
Re-login for this to take effect

Go to Settings > Region & Languages > Formats; click on the formats and change it from your default country to either UnitedStates or UnitedKingdom and then re-log in.. that should do
