I believe many people would like to have an English locale without British and American quirks, that is, with A4 paper format, monday as the first weekday, %d.%m.%Y as date format, metric system and comma as decimal point. These features, I believe, are shared by the most of European nations and at the same time they are ones that a user encounters most. One could name it an "International" locale, or, perhaps, "European" one. Probably, it doesn't really matter if it is coded as en_RU, en_DE, en_FI, whatever. In fact, this locale (more or less) already exists: http://lh.2xlibre.net/locale/en_DK/. Well, "International" locale happened to be Danish one for reasons of historical nature, so to say. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
