If nobody objects, I'll change the Contribution checklist to reflect this by the end of the week. The patch itself is fine and I'll apply it tomorrow my time (i.e. in roughly 24 hours). A few pointers if you intend to contribute more patches: 1. The patch needs a ChangeLog entry 2. Please send the patch as inline text so that it is easy to comment on. In this case, the patch is trivial and hence no comments were needed.

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). >=20 >=20 > Kind regards, > Christian Schmidt >=20 >=20 > [1] http://sproget.dk/lookup?SearchableText=3Dkr > [2] http://sproget.dk/raad-og-regler/retskrivningsregler/retskrivningsreg= ler/a7-40-60/a7-41-43-punktum/a7-42-forkortelsespunktum/ > [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retskrivningsordbogen > [4] https://www.google.dk/search?q=3Dpriser+kr+site:dk > [5] http://www.korrekturavdelingen.no/K4Forkortelser.htm > [6] http://www.regeringen.se/content/1/c6/13/15/83/7be35768.pdf#page=3D55 >=20 >=20 >=20 --UJhykcm+BCcdfd3/ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-length: 473 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJVK07VAAoJEHnEPfvxzyGHypEIAIh5cEa96573Bp0TVaALLR4c entxwgsemjPydzApqQ6thIvb8rMErB/Y9HL8IsHoONf9zE7eFOJn2wLcAjYGV6Fe njS4U9Q+Ad+arkzGxdH11/RJTzp9idiP0FWRliutrnTr/ZasQbrClO8P5kGf6EWz JFiUv9B+UIbgMqwO5uUMtyspYDWUxIAdo1aOSI9pE5OemCyGnT7BcEKWS9VO6R+9 mKkwHNXIn5J+Jil+8aTANgVu3rf6xu+fzwenyp4nNGOWbXOgA6ud5LD2FbzLexOP c8B6ocOBDRGRT14yeHF9e66LIerFLywxQLUvVjoWnYPCEuUV3tlFYw+oS02fABs= =lMya -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --UJhykcm+BCcdfd3/--
