Bug description:Abbreviated month comes out wrong.
Description:
------------
Abbreviated month always displays month names with three letters.
However ... in Swedish we never write July and June with three letters.
This is seen as wrong and not the standard way of shortening the month
names.
The reason is simple. July (juli in swedish) when shortening to three
letter
becomes 'Jul' which is the swedish word for christmas.
I realized how stupid and funny it looks when I programmed a calendar
plugin for
wordpress and I echoed some dates in July.
So both July and June should spell out juli and juni when set_locale is set
to
Swedish language.
One more detail; Month names should are written in lowercase in Swedish
when
used in sentences. This can of course simply be controlled by the
programmer
using strtolower() and should be the prefered solution I'd say.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'sv_SE');
echo strftime('%d %b %Y', strtotime("2 July 2011"));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
2 Juli 2011
Actual result:
--------------
2 Jul 2011
(Jul = Christmas in swedish)
