Description Eric Lavarde 2016-02-15 06:25:02 UTC
Description of problem:

When choosing Ireland - English (en_IE) as Region, 
1. the time is shown with AM/PM whereas default Irish time is 24h
2. the week is shown starting on Sunday (in the Digital Clock Widget's calendar), whereas Monday would be correct
3. if I select "Detailed Settings" (without changing anything), the currency disappears and the time is shown in 24h format (?!?)
4. if I choose Ireland as Time, the time is back to AM/PM
5. if I choose Ireland as Currency, the Euro is back as well

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
plasma-systemsettings-5.5.4-1.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open System Settings
2. Go to Personalization -> Regional Settings -> Formats
3. Set Region to Ireland - English (en_IE)
(optional: select "Detailed Settings")
4. log out and log back in

Actual results:
See above description

Expected results:
Make "Irish" week start on Monday and time format be 24h.

Additional info:
KOrganizer does it correctly, earlier versions of KDE (pre-Plasma5) and /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_IE (compare with en_GB) do/show the right thing! Not to speak of 'date'.

Comment 1 Eric Lavarde 2016-03-27 08:32:02 UTC
Even if you don't have time to fix it right now, it would be nice (if possible) to know where the information is stored: if it's an editable format similar to /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_IE I could at least fix it locally myself.

Comment 2 Luigi Toscano 2016-03-28 15:34:21 UTC
Afaik Plasma relies on Qt for this starting from Qt 5 (all the software where this was working are in fact kdelibs4 based).

See here:
https://wiki.qt.io/Locales
You could try to check into CLDR repositories.

Comment 3 Luigi Toscano 2016-03-28 15:46:58 UTC
From a quick search, it looks like it could be the reason, see:

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 15:34:29 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 18:44:21 UTC
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
