Language selection in the native language

In my preferences I had for my l10n implementation, I used translated strings for the language names. That way, you don't need to know English to find your language. The strings I used was:

(Although this caused another issue, documented on the Pebble Developer Forums. This seems to be a minor encoding issue, however)

I wonder if this broke the actual translations? Around 1 AM today the Swedish translation for Sat (Lör) worked fine, then I noticed around 10 AM that it had stopped working. Now when I use Swedish it doesn't show the date at all, the date layer is just blank. The only thing that changed between 1 AM and 10 AM is this checkin (since I didn't upgrade the app) and that I upgraded to RC3 of the firmware. However, I have downgraded to RC2 again just to see if that was the cause, and even with RC2 I cant see the translation so the firmware upgrade was not the cause.
I wonder if the cause might be the meta charset UTF-8 tag added? Today Saturday and Tomorrow Sunday you may test this easily using Swedish since they both contain the letter ö, "Lör" and "Sön".
