[PATCH] locales: et_EE: locale has wrong {p,n}_cs_precedes value

[Priit Laes <plaes at plaes dot org>]

From: Märt Põder <tramm@p6drad-teel.net>

According to "Requirements of information technology in Estonian
language and cultural environment" [1] the monetary symbol should be
written after the amount number.

Since standards are protected by copyright, I can only safely link to a
draft of this standard at the web site of The Institute of the Estonian
Language [2], which on pages 23-24 describes how to write sums of money
in Estonian. The draft doesn't differ from official standard in this
respect (accordingly pages 26-27). The first four rows of section 4 of
the standard were removed after Estonia joining Euro zone [3], so "EEK"
and "kr" are now obsolete.

Now the part about Euro has three columns, the first one is about
"international" usage and second two describe the "local" uses of word
"euro" and sign "€". Although international usage is also documented
there, you shouldn't be misguided by that, since this is not the one you
would use in normal Estonian, but only when representing Euro in
banking/international context. The second and the third column show that
currency symbol has to be written after the amount number.

So I am suggesting that localedata for et_EE should be fixed to follow
current official standard EVS 8: 2008.

You can confirm my interpretation by looking at the usage of the Euro in
all three referred forms ("EUR", "euro", "€") documented in Estonian
Wikipedia entry about the currency [4] or one of the receipts issued by
any business entity big enough to pay attention at proper grammar.
However, Unicode Consortium's CLDR project might be even more
authoritative reference and has several confirming examples of the use.
