Summary: Incorrect date and time formats in en_SG locale
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: localedata
AssignedTo: libc-locales@sources.redhat.com
ReportedBy: b3virq3b@gmail.com
Downstream report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/699886
Currently under English (Singapore) locale date_fmt is formatted like this:
Friday 07,January,2011 11:44:44 PM SGT
The commas are weird and are not the convention in Singapore. The attached
patch changes that and other related formats to better values:
t_fmt_ampm from "%I:%M:%S %p %Z" to "%I:%M:%S %p" (removed time zone; redundant
because Singapore spans only one time zone)
t_fmt from "%I:%M:%S %Z" to "%T" (changed to 24h time)
d_t_fmt from "%A %d,%B,%Y %I:%M:%S %Z" to "%a %d %b %Y %r" (removed awkward
commas, use abbreviated month names)
d_fmt from "%A %d,%B,%Y" to "%d/%m/%Y"

Where is the reference for the change? And don't reference other bug report
systems, all the information must be entered here.

> Where is the reference for the change?
I'm not able to find a national standard for this, and in fact actual formats
used vary from site to site:
Government websites : http://www.gov.sg/ http://www.nlb.gov.sg/
Local newspapers: http://www.straitstimes.com/ http://www.todayonline.com/
However, my point is that the current format where the day/month/year are
delimited by commas does not reflect actual local usage. The formats I picked
in the patch are similar to those used in en_GB (due to Singapore's historical
links with the UK as a former colony.)

Okay, but all information is presented here already.

I looked around myself and found nothing resembling the current format. The
patch is applied. Next time provide a patch with a complete file name.
