Suggest:

* Nominative and genitive month names are now supported for the Catalan and
  Czech languages. The Catalan and Greek languages now support abbreviated
  alternative month names.

If these bug fixes need a news entry, then there should be a news entry in glibc
master NEWS *first* before you add it here.

Not marked fixed in 2.28 (target milestone should be set to 2.28 and marked fixed).

Next steps:

- Commit a NEWS update to glibc master.
- Mark all bugs fixed with milestone set to glibc 2.28.
- Commit the same NEWS entry in 2.27.
- Commit all the changes (will automatically add comments to bugzilla
  that they were also fixed in release/2.27/master).

Cheers,
Carlos.
