That line should run:

     abbr_day_names: [ی, د, س, چ, پ, ج, ش]

Can we somehow push that fix upstream or is this a local plugin?

Indeed. It seems all localizations except the english base file are 
missing these first lines:

   html:
     dir: ltr
   time:
     formats:
       friendly: "%e %B %Y at %H:%M"

Any idea how to get this pushed to translatewiki?
