https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199441 Bug ID: 199441 Summary: nl_langinfo(ABMON_1) only returns number in Chinese locales Product: Base System Version: 10.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: lantw44@gmail.com Created attachment 155585 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=155585&action=edit Fix short month names and replace %b with %_m in date_fmt for Chinese locales When using a Chinese locale, such as zh_TW.UTF-8 or zh_CN.UTF-8, nl_langinfo(ABMON_*) only returns numbers. nl_langinfo(ABMON_1) returns 1, nl_langinfo(ABMON_2) returns 2, and so on. This causes problems in applications that put the short month name and the day of the month together. For example, 'Apr 14' in English becomes '414日' in Chinese on the top bar of GNOME Shell. This problem may be resolved by appending '月' to all short month names and replacing %b with %_m in date_fmt. ja_JP.UTF-8 already does this, but I have not done much testing to know whether it can cause other problems in Chinese locales. The GNU C Library also returns values with '月' appended. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
