Further to this, any locale-specific tests in this area should not just exercise that when passed a particular string, the localisation process works. That's already tested in other places (such as the tests Marc points to). Adding a test that shows "%m" outputs the correct month in Polish doesn't tell us anything, since we already know the core infrastructure works (it's tested outside of the Polish tests). Similarly a test that says "%Y-%m-%d" outputs year then month then day doesn't tell us anything. So tests that show a particular format string produces a particular result aren't really useful. It just shows that the author of the format string understood what the result should be, not that the format string is correct. Thus, I'm not quite sure what locale-specific tests Rudolph is thinking of adding here.
