The format of those buttons depend on locale.
What is your locale?

What does command
locale
show in your system?

What does command
date +%x
show in your system?

I could not find this language pack. Any ideas which packages I should install to be able to see that myself?

Can you compile c/gtk files from source if I create a test program for you?

(Hard to understand how this is possible as the whole button string is generated with "strftime %x" command.)

The language pack could be en-base. package manager says that. (how can i
find out for sure?). locale is india. I have seen problems that many
programs have in recognizing this locale, but it usually overrides or works
in some way.
I am not a linux guy. In fact I'm not even a computer guy. But I have grown
familiar with the CLI and have installed from source once or twice before.
If you could add a brief instruction to a test program I will definitely try
it.
Alternative is that I've just got orage 4.5 and could try it.
Regards.

I can reproduce this now. (I managed to set my locale to en_IN and see the problem.)
Fix in progress.

This is now fixed in Xfce svn Orage version 4.5.14.3 (svn revision 27526).
But I do not know how and when this fix appears in Ubuntu (or debian).

Unfortunately there is no real workaround for this problem,
so Orage does not work with en_IN locale before this fix.

I tried to configure orage 4.5.13.6-svn and it exits with

for sure i have libxfcegui4.4, but no amount of exporting environment
variables helped configure to find it.
i don't understand.

This is not anymore related to the original BUG.
This is now install program, which should not be discussed here.

After saying that...
Try:
pkg-config --modversion libxfcegui4-1.0
It should say 4.4.2 or similar

pkg-config searches file called
libxfcegui4-1.0.pc

This file should be where PKG_CONFIG_PATH point to
(or in the default places)

do:
locate libxfcegui4-1.0.pc

and adjust PKG_CONFIG_PATH

But this discussion is really not in the scope of this BUG report.

This is now fixed in Debian, pending upload by Corsac (the fix has been confirmed). Once uploaded to Debian, a merge will bring it to Uubuntu. Since both Ubuntu and Debian have the same versions of orage, and the upload to Debian is a bug-fix only change, I believe that is the correct course of action. If not, I'm willing to simply create an Ubuntu only upload.
