Description Jens Petersen 2002-08-29 12:40:41 UTC

Description of Problem:
The format of the ja date string translation should be changed
so that the date is ordered in a intelligible way.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.0.7-7

How Reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start gdm in ja locale

Actual Results:
The same date string "%a %b %d, %I:%M %p" as for English is used.

Expected Results:
"%x(%a) %p%l:%M" say would be better.

Additional Information:
I don't know about zh and ko.

Comment 1 Akira TAGOH 2002-08-30 07:50:09 UTC

If %x is specified, no need to contains '(%a)'. %x means *without time* you
know. it includes a weekday name.

Comment 2 Jens Petersen 2002-08-30 09:45:23 UTC

Ok, my string is based on date(1).  glibc does something different?

Comment 3 Akira TAGOH 2002-08-30 09:58:13 UTC

Look at the source. and man 3 strfime.

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2002-08-30 09:58:57 UTC

s/strfime/strftime/

Comment 5 Akira TAGOH 2002-08-30 10:11:33 UTC

Hmm, if we respect meaning of %b, '%m/%d(%a) %p %I:%M' is better, I think.
because %x contains a year. also it definitely abbreviates a month and a day for
Japanese.

Comment 6 Akira TAGOH 2002-08-30 10:13:14 UTC

Hmm, I've made a lot of typo... I mean 'it doesn't definitely abbreviates a
month and a day for Japanese.'

Comment 9 Akira TAGOH 2002-08-30 10:49:44 UTC

could you use an attached ja.po?

Comment 10 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-30 17:24:59 UTC

We will try. there's only a few hours left though really.

Comment 11 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-31 04:59:59 UTC

Putting in -10

Comment 12 Jens Petersen 2002-09-03 05:52:16 UTC

Afraid with gdm-2.4.0.7-10, I still see "%a %b %d, %I:%M %p" output
not "%m/%d (%a) %p %I:%M" in a Japanese locale.

Comment 13 Akira TAGOH 2002-09-05 14:30:27 UTC

Havoc, you had to copy gdm-ja.po as ja.po on %%setup :(
I did in 2.4.0.7-12.

Comment 14 Havoc Pennington 2002-09-05 15:51:35 UTC

Thanks tagoh, sorry about that.

Comment 15 Jay Turner 2002-09-05 17:48:28 UTC

So, looks like this is taken care of.  Closing out.  Please reopen if the date
string is still formatted incorrectly.

Comment 16 Jens Petersen 2002-09-06 07:46:15 UTC

Yep, looks good to me in gdm-2.4.0.7-13.
