The calendar is displaying days of the week in a foreign language, how do I change it to english?

Edit: In response to a comment below, this question is not a duplicate of How to change Date/Time format to English?. That thread is 9 years old and the answer refers to a system setting from ubuntu 13, "Language Support", which no longer exists in ubuntu 20.

Edit #2: I posted this question in March and only today noticed that it received a reply in October. Here is the output from locale:

$ locale | grep LC_TIME
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8

In the meantime, the problem went away and my calendar is now displayed in English. I did not knowingly change anything, maybe the problem got fixed by an update.

This happens if your LC_TIME is set to a different language compared to the system's.

Check them with locale.

Try sudo update-locale LC_TIME=en_IN.UTF-8 and reboot.
