Question

What language is this?

Everyday at night I see something like this in these forums:

I simply can't understand why is it that the Month is in some different language.  My browser and my system is based on UK English but this is really driving me crasy because I tend to look at date/time whenever I post and this doesn't make sense.

The above picture is taken from DW forum.

Thanks.

    груд is Russian for piles.  Have no clue what that means in this context, though…

    No, it's Ukrainian language.

    "груд" is a short of "грудень" - december in english.

    I think you have choose it somewhere in the settings by mistake, because Ukrainian often marked as "Uk" (while should be "Ua"), so you may think this is United Kingdom English, while it is not.
