Hello, Thank you for your response. Your feedback will be valuable because it seems to me you are the potential actual user of this feature.
Would you be able to test my copr repository [1] and see how it works in your language, what started working correctly out of the box and what works worse? Of course, security must be taken into account: preferably test it on a separate virtual machine. Or even on a live DVD. :-) Some comments below: 19.04.2017 11:06 Fòram na Gàidhlig <f...@foramnagaidhlig.net> wrote: > > From my language's point of view.

I think I agree with you because I'm trying to follow CLDR but which approach did you mean here? > Displaying "of April" as a standalone date would look > very weird in my language, and having the 'genitive' form displayed as > nominative would be the lesser of two evils. Of course using genitive where nominative is required is definitely bad. But do you mean that you'd prefer %OB to be genitive and %B to be nominative? Would you prefer as a translator to rework all date formats which display day and month, like "%d %B", to "%d %OB" or would you prefer to rework only those which display month standalone? Which are more frequent? BTW, CLDR does not say anything about nl_langinfo() nor strftime(). Unfortunately, there is no solution which will automagically display the correct form whenever it finds %B. > For example: > > June = An t-Ògmhios I'll use this example to explain that this would be printed by "%OB". > 18 June = 18mh dhen Ògmhios And this one would need "%dmh %B". > So, depending on how it's coded, that would give us "dhen Ògmhios" or > "mh dhen Ògmhios" if the 'genitive' was used as a standalone date. Of course, displaying genitive where nominative is requires is not what I want. Some applications would need fixes but probably this would be less changes than the opposite solution. I will appreciate if you point me to a specific application which will start displaying dates incorrectly. I'm aware of about 5 such applications already. For some of them I've prepared patches already. Also, if possible, I'll appreciate even more if you could be able to compare this with the solutions in OS X and BSD. Unfortunately, I can tell already that FreeBSD does not support gd_GB.
