 now, each language can set it's
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-
 includes/locale.php#L184 "text direction" (LTR/RTL)] and there are few
 other settings set from there. I think that if you want to hide this
 setting, it's better to move it to there.

 Sergey, i think that we both agree that if we want to remove this setting
 from the UI, it should be set in language files.

 I also think we need to add a filter to override the local settings. For
 calendar plugins, as Pippin Williamson mentioned. It should be an easy to
 use filter, something like:

 {{{
 function custom_week_starts_filter() {
   return '0'; // for sunday
 }
 add_filter( 'week_starts_on', 'custom_week_starts_filter' );
 }}}
