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). I raised this issue to the contact person for da_DK, Keld Simonsen, in January 2014. He responded that he would look into it, but so far I have not received any feedback.

Hi Siddhesh, I saw you committed some other locale changes. Will you take a look at this? Thanks,
Please post the patch on libc-alpha mailing list after reviewing the contribution checklist[1] and I'll review. [1] http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Contribution%20checklist#Contribution_Guidelines
(In reply to Siddhesh Poyarekar from comment #4) > Please post the patch on libc-alpha mailing list after reviewing the > contribution checklist[1] and I'll review. This is a locale change, so I suppose the libc-locale is the right mailing list to use? I have sent this mail to the mailing list: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-locales/2015-q1/msg00035.html
No, you should post it to libc-alpha.
