[PATCH][BZ 17692] da_DK: Change currency_symbol from "kr" to "kr."

The currency_symbol for da_DK should be changed from "kr" to "kr." (i.e. with a trailing period).

"kr." is the official spelling[1,2] according to Retskrivningsordbogen[3] published by the Danish Language Council (Dansk Sprognævn) that is the official regulatory body of the Danish language.

"kr" is sometimes used informally, but I believe "kr." is much more widespread. To get an impression, see e.g. [4].


AFAICT "kr" is the preferred spelling in Norway[5] and Sweden[6]. Perhaps this is how "kr" made its way into da_DK also (it has been unchanged since da_DK was added to Git/CVS in 1997).


Kind regards,
Christian Schmidt
