No, everything fine, the survey tool is the new way of submitting data
and changes to the CLDR. When I started the audit the tool wasn't ready,
but now it is.

I've used CLDR Survey Tool to enter the data.
Is this OK? Or should I file a bug?

Fine. Would you mind filing a bug against the CLDR and when done
reporting its number back here? See pointers in the audit document.

What made me wonder though is, that OOo's TimeAM and TimePM are said to
be AM/PM and not some localized expressions as listed by the CLDR.

You can count it as voice from "people": at least 90% of population
of Serbia and Montenegro lives in Serbia-proper (not counting Kosovo
in, it's 8 million vs 0.8 million [and note that it's probably more
than 8 million, and less than 0.8 million, so I am not being gentle on
Serbia, but rather vice versa]).

Generally, it's politically a very sensitive question, and you avoid
most of the fuss by setting CSD as default currency (there's more:
Kosovo with 1.2+M is nowadays probably using EUR as well, even if it's
part of Serbia [or isn't, I am not going into political discussion
here]).

Note that also some day names would be spelled out differently in
Montenegro (eg. for Wednesday: "сриједа" instead of "среда", or in
Latin transcription "srijeda" instead of "sreda"), so generally, sr_CS
is a locale more suitable for Serbia part of the union.  That's why I
designed a [EMAIL PROTECTED] locale for GNU libc (which is usable in both
Montenegro and Bosnia [in "Serbian" areas]), basically for Jekavian
dialect as used in Balkans, yet it never garnered enough interest (the
number of people that might use it is really small).


Note that each dialect is as much "Serbian" as the other, so if we
bring this into discussion, we'll never achieve anything: the "voice
from Serbia" is going to be more useful to a MAJORITY of people, and
that should be the only criteria.

Danilo

For now, default for sr_CS should be CSD, and EUR should be there also

Ah, yes, CLDR started the vetting for 1.4

Another thing: I know the confusing fact that, although being a state
union, Montenegro severed its economy from Serbia, and while Serbia uses
the Serbian Dinar (CSD) as currency, Montenegro uses the Euro (EUR).
I will add EUR to the used currencies for *_CS, just that it opens the

Here is what I have missed!

Unfortunately, TimeAM and TimePM in CLDR are worng and not accepted in
Gujarati.
TimeAM - પૂર્વ મધ્યાહ્ન should be સવારે and TimePM - ઉત્તર મધ્યાહ્ન
should be સાંજે
StartDayOfWeek - mon should be સોમ which is similar to CLDR day of Monday.

CE should be ઇસ
BCE should be ઇસ પૂર્વે

> For CurrencyName, do you have a localized name instead of Rupee/INR?

it is રૂપિયા in Gujarati (gu-IN)

This changes will make Gujarati Perfet in OO.o!

Thai normally use 24 hours system. When we use 12 hours system, we use 
AM/PM.
The old translator (originally for OOo, I guess) try to translate the 
word AM/PM

as ก่อนเที่ยง/หลังเที่ยง, but that's not what we actually use and not natural.
We, a group of Thai localization developers, discussed this some time 
before

and decide to not translate the words. They're easier to understand than to
translate and introduce the two new words only seen in OSS.

What about the era abbreviations? I can't judge, OOo has some localized

Hi Eike,

For gu_IN (Gujarati Language) these are diffrences,

1. Days Of Week
2. Months Of Year
3. And Currency Symbol

and all these due to using wrong character ઋુ. instead of રુ !
See: 
http://l10n.openoffice.org/nonav/i18n_framework/cldr/LocaleDataAudit_OOo202.html#1005

Section where correct character symbol is there in CLDR column. Do I
need to file issue for that? I think I am awake very late since this
differences are critical and can lead to wrong way in using
OpenOffice.org

CLDR part is mostly correct than OpenOffice locale data.

Yes ;-)  it's simple:

- CurrencyID should be the ISO 4217 code, the element is currently not
  used in OOo, but may in future for a real ID, instead of BankSymbol
  that currently serves that purpose. Currently the content is a wild
  mixture of names, symbols and IDs, I'll adjust that in all locale data
  over time.

- BankSymbol is the ISO 4217 code as well, that one is used for display
  purposes for example in bank exchange. In future it _might_ differ
  from ISO 4217, but I doubt it will.

- CurrencySymbol is the display symbol used with amounts.

- CurrencyName is the name the currency is called in the native
  language.

It is safe. Just what do people expect if, for example, they have a Calc
value cell and click the currency format icon? Do they want to see some
sort of symbol or abbreviation, even if more than one charater or glyph,
or the ISO code?

Ambiguity to what? My Cyrillic parser is broken ;-)
Note that it is fine to have identical symbols for different currencies
of different countries. For example, the $ symbol is not only used for
USD. You don't have to make up symbols just to prevent ambiguity.

Tarrifs are something different, in telephone calls we can have a tarrif
of 0.0099 Euro per minute, but the smallest coin is 0.01 Euro (== 1 Cent)
so decimals are 2. What is the smallest amount of money you can have in

CLDR tries to be as correct as possible. It's the only way to go when
you want to create a reference database.

No, not necessary. I'll file a collective issue for all those small bits
that will arrive over time and just align them according to the
findings. For now I'll just record it in the audit document.

So, on behalf of the British I hereby declare that the first day of the

Any complaints > /dev/null  (8-D

In fact, I think such record is of almost no meaning outside the several 
countries where such cultural artifacts exist traditionally. Abbreviation 
doesn't equal symbol, after all. Perhaps, we should leave ISO code there? 
Safe choice? 

Otherwise, I think the primary setting should be "бел. руб.", to avoid 
ambiguity.

Well, trivial currency data here doesn't include decimal places, indeed. OTOH, 
decimal places (kopecks) are still fairly commonly used, e.g., in tariffs. 

Bit of over-eagerness on part of CLDR here?

If that is the case, then please add it to your CLDR bug report. Our
goal isn't only to have correct OOo data, but also to get correct CLDR
data. In future we want to be able to semi-automatically update OOo's
locale data with CLDR content. Differences prevent us from doing so. To
get changes in to the CLDR easier it helps to provide some evidence like
official government websites or references to books. Even cultural
tradition may be documented somewhere, for example in dissertations. If
CLDR doesn't accept it, it was at least worth the try. If there aren't
any official rules, I doubt there's justification to keep the old data.

Btw, when reporting CLDR bugs it may be helpful to include an URL of the
item as a pointer to our audit document, such as
http://l10n.openoffice.org/nonav/i18n_framework/cldr/LocaleDataAudit_OOo202.html#1378

The string length doesn't matter technically, it should be a choice of
usage if there is no national standard. I guess few people write long
terms for the currency symbol when pricing goods, for example. Don't
know though how the CLDR regards this. Maybe because as long as there is
no standard they use the ISO code instead.

Also marked to be aligned.

What about #1395, decimal places of the currency? CLDR states that there
are only integer amounts, OOo includes 2 decimals.

Thanks for the detailed answers. It seems that be_BY is quite

Well, I'd still say current ooo setting is marginally better, w/r to cultural 
tradition. It isn't too uncommon for CLDR to err somewhat in such matters, 
after all. Take the issue of startday of en_GB (present in this audit) for 
example. Or error in CLDR be_BY currency formats (CLDR issue #963). FWIW, 
GLIBC locale has non-CLDR version, too.

Let it be?

*All* capitalisation-only differences in be_BY section of this audit are just 
a matter of different presentations. Speaking *strictest*, Belarusian grammar 
doesn't regard names of days and months as proper nouns, so CLDR is possibly 
bit more correct here, disregarding that names are often capitalised in 
definitions like this, with no consideration for grammars' rules.

Your decision, I think.


> I assume OOo's BYR CurrencySymbol р. instead of BYR is correct? Please
> include that in your CLDR bug report then.

Well, after re-checking with CLDR tables and ooo locales, what ought to be 
here is (numbers of audit issues):

#1383 CurrencyID // BYR
"BYR"
(as per ISO 4217 and per National Bank regulation)

#1387 CurrencySymbol // BYR
"руб." or "бел.руб."
(there really is no such symbol at the moment, but the above abbreviations are 
the ones commonly used for that purpose. I have no idea whether these are 
acceptable w/r to string length, however. If not, then previous choice of 
"р." would be acceptable, too.)

#1391 CurrencyName // BYR
"беларускі рубель"
(if name is to be in national language, then CLDR is right here)

Regarding en-GB (British English), and probably the same applies to en-IE,
the only issue is over the first day of the week.

I don't really know how to resolve this and do not personally have any
preference whether this should be Sunday or Monday. Based on previous
discussion and some informal investigation it appeared that the UK has both
in common usage.

I wrote to Dr Stockton at Surrey University - he has done research on the
subject and can offer arguments and historical perspectives supporting both
views.

"There are some things in the UK for which, overall, we really do not use a
standard, and this is one of them."

Also: "Certainly we have historically started the week on Sunday (unlike,
it seems, the Creator who apparently chose Monday); but the working week
starts on Monday."

He cites BS EN 28601:1992 which is based on ISO 8601 first edition, which
states that the first day of the week is Monday and adopts the ISO
algorithm for week numbering.

I have also written to the BSI, but have not had a response yet.

Given that both Sunday and Monday appear to be in common usage, why don't
we consider making the first day of the week user configurable within the
options settings? We could then default to the ISO standard (Monday) and
those who prefer Sunday could simply set their choice under options settings?

Yes ;-)  it's simple:

- CurrencyID should be the ISO 4217 code, the element is currently not
  used in OOo, but may in future for a real ID, instead of BankSymbol
  that currently serves that purpose. Currently the content is a wild
  mixture of names, symbols and IDs, I'll adjust that in all locale data
  over time.

- BankSymbol is the ISO 4217 code as well, that one is used for display
  purposes for example in bank exchange. In future it _might_ differ
  from ISO 4217, but I doubt it will.

- CurrencySymbol is the display symbol used with amounts.

- CurrencyName is the name the currency is called in the native
  language.

that does a comparison between locale data as of OOo m151 and CLDR 1.3.
For details and description please see the document.

...

Mismatches for be_BY:

1. gregorian:Eras.Era.EraID // ad, bc
Locale data is correct in this matter, and CLDR is incorrect.

2. LC_CTYPE // ThousandSeparator
Non-breaking space is preferred, so CLDR is more correct in this.

3. gregorian:MonthsOfYear.Month.MonthID // may
Formally, both variants are permissible. Bit of ambiguity here. Let it be?

4. gregorian:DaysOfWeek.Day.DayID // tue
Irrelevant, as there is no standard here on such abbreviations.

What should be used for CurrencyID?
http://l10n.openoffice.org/nonav/i18n_framework/cldr/LocaleDataAudit_OOo202.html#219
I see inconsistencies between locales.
- bank symbol
- currency symbol
- translated currency name
- currency name in English
I see all cases in the OOo locale. Should we have a standard?

Again, I would like to ask as many people as possible to take a look at

Hi Eike,

Out of curiosity do you have a list of locales that are in Microsoft but
not in OOo?

Hi Eike,

1413: This was reported under #645 to CLDR
1414: align to CLDR.  LC_CURRENCY is inherited from en_ZA.  en_ZA should
also be corrected to have CurrencyName=Rand.  So CurrencyName in both
CLDR and OOo for en_ZA is incorrect.

The other South African languages I assume are listed because there is
no CLDR data?
