 I think this is an issue that should be solved by the translation team, in
 http://translate.sugarlabs.org

 The problematic line in clock is clock.py:139. Actually, it has a TRANS:
 comment there. For the Spanish translation we should use:
 {{{
 '<markup>\
 <span lang="en" font_desc="Sans 20">\
 <span foreground="#B20008">%A</span>, \
 <span foreground="#5E008C">%d</span>/\
 <span foreground="#B20008">%m</span>/\
 <span foreground="#9A5200">%Y</span></span></markup>'
 }}}

 In fact, it's already done[1] and works properly in XO-4 13.1.0 build 30.

 For the uppercase issue, I thought we could use {{{.title()}}} method but
 that is not possible because the {{{%A}}} is between specific markup. We
 should have a way to ask glibc for the name of the weekdays in uppercase
 because they are needed if the sentence starts with a weekday name. I
 would leave this as it is. If you consider this should be changed, please
 open a new bug to track this issue.
