Unfortunately ls is going against the locale here:

,----[ /usr/share/i18n/ro_RO ]
| LC_TIME
...
| % Appropriate date and time representation (%c)
...
| %	"%a %d %b %Y %T %z"
| d_t_fmt "<U0025><U0061><U0020><U0025><U0064><U0020><U0025><U0062><U0020>/
| <U0025><U0059><U0020><U0025><U0054><U0020><U0025><U007A>"
| %
| % Appropriate date representation (%x)
| %	"%d.%m.%Y"
| d_fmt   "<U0025><U0064><U002E><U0025><U006D><U002E><U0025><U0059>"
...
| END LC_TIME
