Hi

My customer reported an interesting issue. He needs translated month name,
and then he use
to_char(current_date, 'tmmonth');

Unfortunately, glibc returns nouns in the genitive case instead of the
nominative case.

This is a glibc feature from the 2.28 release. Genitive case makes sense,
when the result holds a day, but without it, it is messy.

glibc has alternative month names, that can be taken by usage placeholder
'%OB'  of function strftime.
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/basedefs/V1_chap07.html -
see alt_mon.

Can we enhance prefixes (maybe tmo) to be possible to use alternative names?

Regards

Pavel
