            Bug ID: 19133
           Summary: Lowercase months in Portuguese language
           Product: glibc

            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Hi,

According to Portuguese writing practice, month names are not capitalized
(since 2012). So, if month name doesn't stay in the beginning of the sentence,
its first letter
should not be capital.

I've come here because we are facing this issue on the Ubuntu Touch Devices.
See the attachment.

The bug was opened at launchpad.net
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/1490298), and
I was told to come here and report it.

I don't know if this is the right place.. If not I'm sorry :)

Thanks!

Ivo Xavier - Ubuntu Portuguese Translators

I can't reproduce this.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <locale.h>

int
main (void)
{
  time_t rawtime;
  const struct tm *ltime;
  char buf[1024];

  time (&rawtime);
  ltime = localtime (&rawtime);  
  setlocale (LC_ALL, "pt_BR.UTF-8");
  strftime (buf, 1024, "%A, %e de %B de %Y", ltime);
  printf ("%s\n", buf);
  exit (0);
}
gcc -std=gnu99 -Wall -pedantic -o date date.c

Use of %B produces correctly lower-cased month name for pt_BR locale.

Please specify which locale and which version of glibc you are using.

Please provide a test program.

I can reproduce it.

All the months are uppercase in localedata/locales/pt_PT (line 107--118). This
would need to be adjusted to match pt_BR (lowercase month names).

Could you please provide official government documents or some kind of
justification that in Portugal it is expected that months be lower case in a
sentence like this?

Visit this URL:

In page 34 you can find the example. Or search by "meses".


If you need more docs tell me.
