Re: [libreoffice-l10n] [ANNOUNCE] Locale data date acceptance patterns, localizers HEADS UP please :)
Hi Eike [... time separator ...] Is it possible to accept both . and : as separators? No, only one is possible. OK, good to know. EU-standard (not seen that often but since were in the EU and all EU documents , use this format it would be a good thing to support): D.M D.M. Which standard would that be? I only know of EN 28601 that followed ISO 8601. Sorry, bad choice of words. The source of information that I used are the recommendations that Språkrådet (the Swedish language council) gives. In their book "Svenska skrivregler" they state that the format D.M. is used in all EU-documents regardless of language. After some searching on the net I found publications I found this link: http://publications.europa.eu/code/en/en-4100500en.htm And a few more (Swedish and English) that said something similar to "Dates in the text should always be given in their full form (6 June 1992), whereas in footnotes they should always be abbreviated, i.e. 6.6.1992, not 6.6.92" You can define as many date formats (to display dates) you want by just adding them to the locale data file starting with formatindex="50", too many formats in the dialog may just confuse users though.. Thank you, I'll have a closer look. Did a quick test build and was able to add D/M . I'll discuss things further on the Swedish list and get back to you as soon as possible. For date acceptance patterns, as long as the DMY order stays the same within one locale also multiple separators can be used, ISO 8601 and its YMD order is always supported internally, no need to define anything for that. OK, in other words D/M might be a problem for us since the most common format is -MM-DD. I don't think it really matters that much, the most important (commonly used) formats are already supported. -- Thanks, /Niklas -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to l10n+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/l10n/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
