Well, you run into all kinds of problems with other cultures. E.g. in Israel 
the work week seems to be sunday to thursday.

And in KOrganizer you might have configured different working days, like 
monday, wednesday, friday and saturday. What's the end of the work week in 
that case? Of course, we can't use the settings from korganizer in 
libkdepim's date picker, but the user expect the date picker in korganizer to 
honor the work week settings and use the configured end of the work week.

In short, I don't see an easy way to make these hard-coded entries l10n-proof.

Cheers,
Reinhold
