Description Nick Tait 2022-08-14 01:10:49 UTC 
In New Zealand the week starts on Monday (not Sunday).

Please add the following line to LC_TIME section of both of the locales above?

first_weekday 2

This change should be made to these locales:

* en_NZ
* mi_NZ

Thanks,
Nick Tait.

Sorry one more thing... According to the locale files, the maintainer of the file is Keld Simonsen. I tried emailing them about this and got a non-delivery receipt:

<Keld.Simonsen@dkuug.dk>: host smtp01.dkuug.dk[185.38.172.9] said: 550 5.1.1
    <Keld.Simonsen@dkuug.dk>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in
    virtual alias table (in reply to RCPT TO command)

So that is why I'm posting this bug here.

Thanks,
Nick.

agrees with that the first day of the week in NZ is Monday:

And yes, it is displayed incorrectly for en_NZ and mi_NZ but correctly for niu_NZ:
