------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 13 10:26:52 -0700 2005 ------- For the Thai locale, it would be desirable to change the default calendar to be the Buddhist calendar. But this creates a problem with interpretation of two-digit years. If a user does not go and manually change the option in the Tools dialog, then a year of 48 (which should be interprted 2548 BE) will be interpreted as 1948 BE (ie 1405 AD, some time in the Middle Ages). I guess the language pack could change the option, but even this wouldn't be write: there's no guarantee that somebody using the Thai locale will have installed the Thai language pack or vice-versa. It seems to me that the right solution is that the TwoDigitYear configuration property should not be a single year, but should rather be a list of (calendar, year) pairs: eg (Gregorian, 1930), (Buddhist, 2500) etc. This current UI could be left as is: it would show the TwoDigitYear for the default calendar of the current locale. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
