The finnish word for June is mispelt within Outlook and Windows

Morning, To cut a long story short, i work on a helpdesk for a global company.

We have users in Finland who are reporting that the word for June that should be spelt 

 

kesäkuuta (correct spelling) is in actual fact spelt like kesäkuutata (incorrect) is there anything that can be done about this? If i had the source code I would try and change it myself.

 

thanks

    Hi Naz Uddin

    (Thanks for looping me in John Wynne)

     

    Naz Uddin - I want to help you get this resolved for your customers. In order to do that I need get this routed to the right team. It sounds like it could be coming from the Operating system (Outlook pulls some information from the OS in places) so I need some more details from you please (if it is not too much trouble):

     

    Can you please tell me what version & build# of Windows they are using? (type winver in search and hit enter)

    And also the version & build# of Outlook (From File | Office Account | About Outlook).

    And if you could please provide some screenshots of where it occurs that would help me get it routed to the right team quicker also.

     

    Thanks in advance!

      Sorry about the delayed response, here is the information

       

      Operating System: Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.125

      Outlook 2016 MSO Version 1705 16.0.8201.2193 32bit

       

      The issue seems to be in Outlook, not only is June spelt wrong, also August is... I have also attached some screen shots.

       

      Apparantly if you search the web for the incorrectly mispelt words and outlook e.g. 

      elokuutata outlook

       

      There are loads of articles about it (in Finnish though)
