Created attachment 11465 [details] Patch adding Dutch salutations Please, add the following salutations for Dutch locales for Netherlands and Belgium: name_gen "heer of mevrouw" name_mr "heer" name_mrs "mevrouw" name_miss "mevrouw" name_ms "mevrouw" The attached git patch will offer this for the files nl_NL and nl_BE in glibc/localedata/locales
1. Do I see correctly that LC_NAME in nl_BE is the same as nl_NL? Can we use “copy "nl_NL"” in nl_BE instead? 2. I think it's a mistake to set this bug as depending on deprecation of LC_NAME.
Yes, I agree with you that it is not depending on deprecation of LC_NAME, as the content will find another destination along with the other LC_NAME definitions.
And yes, nl_BE can use the values from nl_NL via a copy as the content is identical for nl_BE and nl_NL. Looking at LC_TIME in nl_BE, that can also use copy "nl_NL" Not sure why this was commented out and literally copied from nl_NL. So to save space, this can be fixed by using this copy will have the benefit of also adding date_fmt to nl_BE. Does this require another bug report or can that be covered by this one? Good to know: The official Dutch language is identical for nl_BE and nl_NL. This applies also to all official formats for representing salutations, dates, times, monetary issues, etc.
Thank you, Pander. Since CLDR does not support salutations I can just trust you. Here is your patch posted again: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-07/msg00215.html and my additional fixup: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2019-07/msg00216.html Hopefully they will be accepted and pushed soon.
Thanks!
