Hi Samuel, I can't reproduce that. What distro and ls version are you using? This is what I get with the latest coreutils on Fedora 8: $ LC_ALL=fr_FR.utf8 TIME_STYLE=+"%b %e %H:%M" ./ls -l -h ls.c nl.c -rw-rw-r-- 1 padraig padraig 124K mar 6 22:47 ls.c -rw-rw-r-- 1 padraig padraig 15K fév 25 09:46 nl.c Note that I get shorter abmon values, and also the alignment is fine? Note I needed to specify TIME_STYLE just for that test because I hadn't installed the translations to the appropriate place. All my french locales have the shorter abbreviations BTW? $ locale -a | grep ^fr.*utf8 | while read LANG; do echo -n $(locale abmon); echo " $LANG"; done jan;fév;mar;avr;mai;jun;jui;aoû;sep;oct;nov;déc fr_BE.utf8 jan;fév;mar;avr;mai;jun;jui;aoû;sep;oct;nov;déc fr_CA.utf8 jan;fév;mar;avr;mai;jun;jui;aoû;sep;oct;nov;déc fr_CH.utf8 jan;fév;mar;avr;mai;jun;jui;aoû;sep;oct;nov;déc fr_FR.utf8 jan;fév;mar;avr;mai;jun;jui;aoû;sep;oct;nov;déc fr_LU.utf8 cheers, Pádraig. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
