Hmm, should the first day of the week be Monday too?
Or does the week start on a Sunday?
If the week starts on a Monday, an appropiate week specification should
be present

Sorry, Keld, I don't quite understand your comment as I noted in the first comment: the first day of the week is Monday. What should be present and where? Week starts on Monday too. Probably we have different opinion what's first weekday. Subject: Re: Post-SU locales should have Monday as 1st weekday

there should be a week statement defining the lenght of the week, and
when the week starts, and when the week numbering starts. I think the
following is what you need:
week 7,19971201,4
This corresponds to week handling according to ISO 8601, and says that
the week starts on a Monday. This spec is taken from TR 14652, and I
believe it is implemented in glibc.
This statement should be present in the LC_TIME category specification.

Hm, ok I agree that it can be done differently. I just took an example from french locale. No matter how it will be implemented, it would be nice to fix this rather critical bug in locale description. For example, gtk calendar dialog now is broken due to missing week description. Ping, this is very critical localization problem Ping again, what should I do to make this change in? Ping again, it's really critical locale problem, is there anyone around? |
