Downstream report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/699886 Currently under English (Singapore) locale date_fmt is formatted like this: Friday 07,January,2011 11:44:44 PM SGT The commas are weird and are not the convention in Singapore. The attached patch changes that and other related formats to better values: t_fmt_ampm from "%I:%M:%S %p %Z" to "%I:%M:%S %p" (removed time zone; redundant because Singapore spans only one time zone) t_fmt from "%I:%M:%S %Z" to "%T" (changed to 24h time) d_t_fmt from "%A %d,%B,%Y %I:%M:%S %Z" to "%a %d %b %Y %r" (removed awkward commas, use abbreviated month names) d_fmt from "%A %d,%B,%Y" to "%d/%m/%Y"
Created attachment 5305 [details] Patch to en_SG
Where is the reference for the change? And don't reference other bug report systems, all the information must be entered here.
(In reply to comment #2) > Where is the reference for the change? I'm not able to find a national standard for this, and in fact actual formats used vary from site to site: Government websites : http://www.gov.sg/ http://www.nlb.gov.sg/ Local newspapers: http://www.straitstimes.com/ http://www.todayonline.com/ However, my point is that the current format where the day/month/year are delimited by commas does not reflect actual local usage. The formats I picked in the patch are similar to those used in en_GB (due to Singapore's historical links with the UK as a former colony.) > And don't reference other bug report > systems, all the information must be entered here. Okay, but all information is presented here already.
I looked around myself and found nothing resembling the current format. The patch is applied. Next time provide a patch with a complete file name.
