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).


Kind regards,
Christian Schmidt

I don't know if anybody actually looks at libc-locales anymore (I got
it because you cc'd me, thanks and sorry for the delay since I missed
the patch in my email), so adding libc-alpha instead.  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.

Thanks,
Siddhesh

sounds reasonable, I made a minor tweak to the Locales wiki page to make
it more clear that Contribution checklist should be checked.

sorry, actually I meant that for locale changes I think the best
approach would be to use both lists; libc-alpha to reach most patch
reviewers and libc-locales to reach those interested in locales but who
do not wish to subscribe to libc-alpha due its volume (on libc-alpha the
occasional locale patches do not increase the volume substantially).

Thanks,

Sounds fair to me.
