Honestly the first one is the only one that works when people define the first day of the week differently. On the other hand, it does make you wonder. If Sunday is the first day of the week (as it is in many places) then how is it also part of the weekend?
But if you're worried about locale, you can't assume people use the string "Saturday" to describe Saturday either. That solution only works in English.
I assume this is in a language where the first day of the week is a fixed part of the language (like JS).
