Eike:
Why is it then that also Windows and other operating systems as well as
the CLDR list the ISO date format for Polish?
Well, the fact is that many wording or terminology errors persist in Microsoft
products just because of the fact that correcting them would mean amazing
amounts of work, and that wouldn't be economical. The same goes for the date
format: changing it could disable some custom solutions. There were even serious
spelling errors in the spelling dictionary that persisted for many years.
The fact is that ISO is valid in Poland, of course, but only for technical
notation. In almost all writing, we use either Roman numerals or D.MMMM.YYYY. I
can quote any current dictionary of correct Polish usage for that matter.
As for CLDR, I'll try to file a bug, though the website isn't really
user-friendly :) Anyway, there are amazing things in Polish locale in CLDR, like
short one-letter month names ("w" for "wrzesieĊ", i.e., September). I have never
seen such an abbreviation, and none of the dictionaries I own lists it.
For non-controversial bugs in locale, see <a
