Imho since 2005 or 2006 ISO8601 is authoritative. > Modified: > head/share/timedef/de_DE.ISO8859-1.src > head/share/timedef/de_DE.UTF-8.src > > Modified: head/share/timedef/de_DE.ISO8859-1.src > ============================================================================== > --- head/share/timedef/de_DE.ISO8859-1.src Mon Jun 15 01:09:19 2009 (r194230) > +++ head/share/timedef/de_DE.ISO8859-1.src Mon Jun 15 02:17:10 2009 (r194231) > @@ -59,7 +59,11 @@ Samstag > # > # x_fmt > # > -%Y-%m-%d > +# Note about the new DIN5008, ISO8601 and EN28601 format of %Y-%m-%d: > +# A quick poll on IRC and the -doc mailinglist (June 2009) showed that > +# this format was not used often enough to push this change through. > +# > +%d.%m.%Y > # > # c_fmt > # > > Modified: head/share/timedef/de_DE.UTF-8.src > ============================================================================== > --- head/share/timedef/de_DE.UTF-8.src Mon Jun 15 01:09:19 2009 (r194230) > +++ head/share/timedef/de_DE.UTF-8.src Mon Jun 15 02:17:10 2009 (r194231) > @@ -59,7 +59,11 @@ Samstag > # > # x_fmt > # > -%Y-%m-%d > +# Note about the new DIN5008, ISO8601 and EN28601 format of %Y-%m-%d: > +# A quick poll on IRC and the -doc mailinglist (June 2009) showed that > +# this format was not used often enough to push this change through. > +# > +%d.%m.%Y > # > # c_fmt > # > -- Bjoern A.
