            Bug ID: 17692
           Summary: Wrong currency_symbol for da_DK
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: glibc at chsc dot dk
                CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org

The currency_symbol for da_DK should be changed from "kr" to "kr." (i.e. with a
trailing period).

"kr." is the official spelling[1,2] according to Retskrivningsordbogen[3]
published by the Danish Language Council (Dansk Sprognævn) that is the official
regulatory body of the Danish language.

"kr" is sometimes used informally, but I believe "kr." is much more widespread.
To get an impression, see e.g. [4].


AFAICT "kr" is the preferred spelling in Norway[5] and Sweden[6]. Perhaps this
is how "kr" made its way into da_DK also (it has been unchanged since da_DK was
added to Git/CVS in 1997).


I raised this issue to the contact person for da_DK, Keld Simonsen, in January
2014. He responded that he would look into it, but so far I have not received
any feedback.

I cheked it once more and I can verify that it is both the official  rule and
also widespread current practice.

This is a locale change, so I suppose the libc-locale is the right mailing list
to use?

I have sent this mail to the mailing list:

No, you should post it to libc-alpha.
