Event details screenshot

SUMMARY
While translating, we (i18n-de) noticed, that some date strings are formatted in a bad way for i18n: They use things like "1st", "2nd" etc, with no way for translators to change that. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a monthly or yearly recurring event in a calendar. Bug is also present with Tasks.
2. Hover the mouse pointer over the event/task.

OBSERVED RESULT
See "Event details screenshot"; it says "Jeden Monat am 3rd."
The "rd" is not part of the German translation, the "." is.
I suspect it is the same with every string in this format, this list may be not complete:
- "Every year on the %2 of %3"
- "Every month on the %2"
- "Every year on the %2 day of the year"
- "The %1 of each month"
- "The %1 %2 of each month"

EXPECTED RESULT
It should say "Jeden Monat am 3."
My locale settings are all set to German, anyway.
