[libreoffice-l10n] [ANNOUNCE] Locale data date acceptance patterns, localizers HEADS UP please :)

Hi,

In order to get rid of the annoying "accept every input as date that
might resemble some date in almost any locale" behavior I recently
implemented locale dependent date acceptance patterns that need to be
matched for date input, for full details see
http://erack.org/blog/archives/8-LibreOffice-date-acceptance-patterns.html

If in your locale input of incomplete/abbreviated dates shall be
allowed, this will need a <DateAcceptancePattern> element be added to
locale data, for example in en-US it's "M/D" and in de-DE it's "D.M."
(both already in).

Just mail me the pattern(s) for your locale, I'll add it then.

Thanks
  Eike

Hi Eike,

for pt_PT You can put D/M and D-M. But I do have one question and one
observation.

Question - Does year gets added automatically?

Observation -  If I write 01-01 the result will be 01-01-Year but if I
write 1-1 the result should also be 01-01-Year.

Regards

Eike,

for Slovenian please also add "M.D." (without year and spaces) and "M.
D." (without year) as well to the acceptance patterns.

Thanks,
m.

I'd say that Italian (it) uses "D/M"; e.g., today's date would be
commonly written as 12/1 in Italian.

Sure about D/M ? pt_PT locale data does not define any date format using
the '/' separator.

Yes, the current year is used to complete the date.

That only depends on the default medium format for date, which is
DD-MM-AA for pt_PT, so yes, it's 01-01-Year.

You are correct. This should only be D-M

AA means 2 digit year correct?

Default format should be DD-MM-AAAA. Can You change it?

Yes, pt is one of the languages that have the (unfortunately) legacy
localized format code keys.

For gd, the patterns are D.M, D/M and D-M (technically gd-GB but I think
right now we've only got gd and aren't separating gd-GB and gd-CA)

Thanks to the Anglo-American Bable, no-one is really sure about the
separators any more. But thanks for sorting this out!

Hi Eike,

thank you for pointing to the existence of these xml files.

I found several incorrect items in sk_SK.xml. When corrected, may I send
it to you, too?
Is it somehow possible to test such file before sending it?

Regarding Acceptance patterns. Currently, we have in Slovak:
"11." converts o 11.02.12
"11.2" converts to 11.02.12
Which is OK, I just would prefer 11.02.2012


"11-2" also converts to 11.02.12, but I would prefer 2012-01-11
Would that be possible? Both forms (with . and -) are OK according to
Slovak standard, so it makes sense to have both these possibilities.
In fact, no format is defined with the |<DateAcceptancePattern> |tag.
Which one is used then? The default one?

In fact, can we have different default format for Cand and for Writer?
This makes sense for me - in Calc I find 11.02.2012 more appropriate,
but in Writer
"11. február 2012" should be prefered.

And the last one: In  "11. február 2012", "február" is in the nominative
case. However we should use genitive: "februára". Is it possible to
specify that?
Currently, the misuse the Month tag
<Month>
          <MonthID>feb</MonthID>
          <DefaultAbbrvName>február</DefaultAbbrvName>
          <DefaultFullName>februára</DefaultFullName>
</Month>
but it leads often to nonsense.

Thanks in advance,
Milos

Hi Eike,

I think for fr_FR we need "D/M".
Asked for other FR variants on discuss@fr ML.

Best regards.
