Hi, some Slavic languages and Russian and Greek (afaik) use possessive genitive case month names when used in conjunction with the day of month. For this I added support in the i18n framework and number formatter. There's a new optional element <GenitiveMonths> within the <Calendar> element of the i18npool/source/localedata/data/*.xml files, following the <MonthsOfYear> element. Its content is similar to the already existing <MonthsOfYear> element and has <DefaultAbbrvName> and <DefaultFullName> elements. If the <GenitiveMonths> element is not specified, the content of <MonthsOfYear> will be taken. For technical details see also http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/i18npool/source/localedata/data/locale.dtd
If localizers hurry up ;-) and provide patches to their locales' data files you can get it in before the 3.5 branch-off. In the past for some locales it was decided to use possessive month names instead of month nouns because usually they are displayed along with the day of month. This should be changed, effectively by renaming the <MonthsOfYear> element to <GenitiveMonths> and inserting a new <MonthsOfYear> element before with month nouns. In a recent build you can check use of month noun versus possessive month in the number formatter if you compiled your new locale data with a make in i18npool (note: execute make twice to be sure the new data is available, it seems that due to some shortcoming in the current makefile setup some dependencies are missing). If the format code contains month (MMM or MMMM) and day of month (D or DD) the possessive name is displayed, else (no D or DD code) the noun is displayed.
