           Summary: strftime() needs to support more locale formats of
                    conversion specifications
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.13
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
        AssignedTo: libc-locales@sources.redhat.com
        ReportedBy: mousavi.arash@gmail.com


There are some alternative formats for conversion specifications that cause
strftime() to show alternative numeric symbols for the current locale such as
%OH, %OI, %Om, ....
Unfortunatly the lack of some alternative like %OY makes some applications like
GNOME/Evoluation crash after translation:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553770 [it's really an old bug!]
It would be so nice if devlopers could enhance this feature. Sorry, I'm not an
advance bug reporter!

I have no idea what you're talking about.  You have to provide a small,
self-contained test case.  If you have this, reopen the bug.  But not before.

This is what I'm talking about with a lot more information and it is solved on
gnome side:

I just reopened the bug, but if it's not related, feel free to close it again
;)

%OY may be also good for locale lzh_TW
(see http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15681 )
Is that supported by glibc now?

The Greek locale requires the support of %OB, supported in BSD since 1999, and
documented by POSIX since 2010:
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=258

Note that this adds a new set of locale keywords, 'alt_mon ALTMON_1' through
'alt_mon ALTMON_12', for describing the genitive case for '%d %OB', while the
existing '%B' remains the nominative case.
