Public bug reported: * sudo vi /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_AU * change first_weekday to 2 * regenerate the locale using sudo locale-gen * get the calendar to reload using killall gnome-panel * first day of week now displays correctly, as Monday
It seems to be a bone of contention in English language speaking locations (eg bugs 17214, 16216, 16168, 23600, 2098, 31814) as to which day of the week is the first day of the week. In Australia the majority of the calendars are printed with Monday as the first day of the week, though Sunday occasionally appears (often in calendars printed overseas). http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html#date seems to confirm Monday as the first day of week. However, as this seems to be a matter of personal/religious preference, why not solve this bug correctly by allowing the *user* to easily change the first day of week (by adding a right-click option, etc)? Editing the locale information works for me, but it's not going to work for my mother. ** Affects: langpack-locales (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- en_AU locale: first day of week incorrect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192507 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
