That is buried in the source code of OOo. Once upon a time, there was a document hidden somewhere on the openoffice.org website, that listed all of the locales, and what the differences were. I don't remember the name of the document. (It wasn't part of the l10n, i18n, ui, or documentation projects. Nor part of any of the native language projects.) Anyway, the date formats follow either the legally mandated formats for the specific country. South Africa is the major exception here. For technical reasons, most computer program can not correctly handle the legally defined thousands separator. (When those formats were first introduced in South Africa, they were done under an anti-terrorism statute promulgated by the South African Department of Education. A couple of years later, the anti-terrorism statutes were rewritten, with the BOSS having oversight of most of the items. The specific formats remained under Dept Education oversight. ) jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
