Wrong month short names for fr_FR
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:29 EST
Description of problem: One can not distinguish June and July, because their shortnames are abbreviated too much. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: echo short month name of day 18-July-2006 and 18-June-2006 Actual results: 18-June-2006 gets 18-Jui-2006 18-July-2006 gets 18-Jui-2006 Expected results: Windows does it in the following way, seems reasonable: 18-juin-07 and 18-juil.-07
Which glibc version or RHEL version? I have tried all of RHEL3, RHEL4 and RHEL5 glibc and all of them use jun as abbrev. for June and jui for July.
Arch : x86_64 Version: 2.5 Release: 18.fc6 Additional info: We're using %b in strftime. Best regards, Thomas
Then it surely has nothing to do with RHEL, so why are you filling it against RHEL? That said, in FC6 I get: LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 locale LC_TIME -k | grep abmon abmon="jan;fev;mar;avr;mai;jun;jui;aou;sep;oct;nov;dec" (and similarly for fr_FR), so unless you use your custom locale for fr_FR, you really can't see the same abmon names for June and July. Also note that glibc abmon names are lowercase. LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 date -d 2007-06-01 ven jun 1 00:00:00 CEST 2007 LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 date -d 2007-07-01 dim jui 1 00:00:00 CEST 2007 LC_ALL=fr_FR date -d 2007-06-01 | iconv -f ISO-8859-15// -t UTF-8// ven jun 1 00:00:00 CEST 2007 LC_ALL=fr_FR date -d 2007-07-01 | iconv -f ISO-8859-15// -t UTF-8// dim jui 1 00:00:00 CEST 2007
Can't reproduce anywhere, closing.
