It's very unfortunate for ls-lisp.el to use localized time
strings, because this completely garbles the dired output to
unreadable "ragged" layout. In Finland (and in numerous other
countries) the month names cannot be abbreviated into 3 letters,
as in English.
Here is patch to allow custom time formats. Personally I use
ISO 8601. Why not set it default as well?
