Just an example: Imagine a program, which (in entertainment purposes) reminds you famous eve= nts occurred in the same month, but (some|few|many) years ago. In English it wi= ll be probably "In January: ...", or, as strftime format: "In %B: ...". Let us translate it to Russian: "=D0=92 =D1=8F=D0=BD=D0=B2=D0=B0=D1=80=D0= =B5: ...". Note: month name in this example is neither in nominative case (=D1=8F=D0=BD=D0=B2=D0=B0=D1=80=D1=8C= ), and not in genitive case (=D1=8F=D0=BD=D0=B2=D0=B0=D1=80=D1=8F), so neither "=D0=92 %B: ..." nor "= =D0=92 %OB: ..." (proposed hack for genitive case) is suitable. *** I do not insist on format proposed by me. My point is that new implementati= on should be able to produce any explicitly requested case of name (either mon= th or weekday, it seems there are no other names in this area). If you do not = like "precision" notation (borrowed from printf formats) =E2=80=94 not a problem= , just propose another. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
