Apparently some of the items in the combo boxes are generated and not literal
translation strings.

Using german locale de in branch 4.7 compiled from sources:
#: kcmlocale.cpp:2916
msgctxt "some reasonable date formats for the language"
msgid ""
"WEEKDAY MONTH dD YYYY\n"
"SHORTWEEKDAY MONTH dD YYYY"
msgstr ""
"WOCHENTAG, tT. MONAT JJJJ\n"
"WOCHENTAGKURZ MONAT tT JJJJ"

Long date format ComboBox has:
1) "WOCHENTAG, tT. MONAT JJJJ" OK, in catalog? see x-test
2) "WOCHENTAG TT MONAT JJJJ"   OK, not in catalog, generated
3) "WOCHENTAGKURZ MONAT tT JJJJ" broken, in catalog

#: kcmlocale.cpp:3034
msgctxt "some reasonable short date formats for the language"
msgid ""
"YYYY-MM-DD\n"
"dD.mM.YYYY\n"
"DD.MM.YYYY"
msgstr ""
"TT.MM.JJJJ\n"
"tT.mM.JJJJ\n"
"TT-MM-JJJJ"

Short date format ComboBox has:
1) "TT.MM.JJJJ" OK, in catalog? see x-test
2) "JJJJ-MM-TT" OK, not in catalog, generated
3) "YYYY-MM-DD" broken, not in catalog where does this come from?
4) "tT.mM.JJJJ" OK, in catalog?
5) "TT-MM-JJJJ" OK, not in catalog, generated

Using a patched locale x-test in master compiled from sources:
#: kcmlocale.cpp:2916
msgctxt "some reasonable date formats for the language"
msgid ""
"WEEKDAY MONTH dD YYYY\n"
"SHORTWEEKDAY MONTH dD YYYY"
msgstr ""
"xxWEEKDAY MONTH dD YYYY\n" patched to "xxWEEKDAY MONTH dD YYYYxx\n"
"SHORTWEEKDAY MONTH dD YYYYxx" patched to "xxSHORTWEEKDAY MONTH dD YYYYxx"

Long date format ComboBox has:
1) xxWEEKDAYxx xxDDxx xxMONTHxx xxYYYYxx -> OK, not in catalog, generated
2) xxWEEKDAY MONTH dD YYYYxx             -> broken, from catalog 
changed to xxWEEKDAYxx xxMONTHxx xxdDxx xxYYYYxx -> OK
3) xxSHORTWEEKDAY MONTH dD YYYYxx        -> broken, from catalog 
changed to xxSHORTWEEKDAYxx xxMONTHxx xxdDxx  xxYYYYxx -> OK

#: kcmlocale.cpp:3034
msgctxt "some reasonable short date formats for the language"
msgid ""
"YYYY-MM-DD\n"
"dD.mM.YYYY\n"
"DD.MM.YYYY"
msgstr ""
"xxYYYY-MM-DD\n" patched to  "xxYYYY-MM-DDxx\n"
"dD.mM.YYYY\n" patched to  "xxdD.mM.YYYYxx\n"
"DD.MM.YYYYxx" patched to  "xxDD.MM.YYYYxx"

Short date format ComboBox has:
1) xxDDxx.xxMMxx.xxYYYYxx   OK, not in catalog, generated 
2) xxYYYYxx-xxMMxx-xxDDxx   OK, not in catalog, generated 
3) YYYY-MM-DD               broken, not in catalog where does this come from?
4) xxYYYY-MM-DDxx           broken, in catalog
changed to xxYYYYxx-xxMMxx-xxDDxx -> OK
5) xxdD.mM.YYYYxx           broken, in catalog
changed to xxdDxx.xxmMxx.xxYYYYxx -> OK
6) xxDD.MM.YYYYxx           broken, in catalog
changed to xxDDxx.xxMMxx.xxYYYYxx -> OK
