------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon May 23 11:17:13 -0700 2005 ------- Hi Javier, We have problems with the dz_BT.mxl locale data file. First, what makes me wonder, all date formats except the ISO formats are defined identical, the semantics as lined out in offapi/com/sun/star/i18n/NumberFormatIndex.idl are not covered. I presume this is some copy&paste error from the initial submitter, at least it was already present in the first version. Or is there really no other date format than that one? What's more a problem is the TimeSeparator defined. More than one character may be not supported in all places. It is ok to have strings in display formats, but for input the separator should be only one character, the application is not prepared to parse time values from words. The defined TimeSeparator isn't even used in the time format codes of that file, so what would it be good for? The only use of that string occurs in quarter1Word, and the ListSeparator is defined to be identical to that TimeSeparator, which is almost certainly wrong. Defining the DateSeparator to be a space also doesn't work, you'll not be able to enter date values then. The date and time format codes defined result in date and time values not being editable, if such a value for example is edited in the spreadsheet the result will be a string thereafter. Apparently no one ever tried to actually use the data defined. So how do we proceed? I suggest to set the TimeSeparator to ':' and the DateSeparator to '-' for example, and at least define the format codes such that already existing values are editable, see comments in locale.dtd Btw, I had to change formatindex="43" and formatindex="45" and move the opening bracket so the format codes read "...xxx [HH] ..." instead of "... [xxx HH] ...", otherwise they don't work. This was caught by the checks that are carried out in a non-product version, you may apply the changes of issue 45077 to have them available in a product version, AFAIR no other modules than those directly affected by the change have to be recompiled.
