            Bug ID: 15606
           Summary: pl_PL: genitive month names support
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: piotrdrag at gmail dot com

patch to add genitive month names support using %Om to pl_PL locale

Slavic languages, like Polish, use different cases for month names when they
are on their own (nominative, "styczeń") and when they are part of a date
(genitive, "11 stycznia"). Currently Polish locale only have nominative forms,
so calendars use ungrammatical forms.

Attached patch to pl_PL locale adds a solution similar to the one found in
uk_UA locale:

http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/locales/uk_UA;h=b1df63085c485829f83fa4239df659998aac3dee;hb=HEAD#l973

It uses alt_digits to present a list of month names in proper form for dates.

--- Comment #1 from Rafal Luzynski <digitalfreak at lingonborough dot com> ---
I suggest closing this bug report as a duplicate of bug 10871 because:

* the other bug, although originally referring to Russian only, provides a
large list of affected languages, see bug 10871 comment 6;
* Piotr has already admitted that both his patch and an existing solution for
Ukrainian which inspired him are "hacks, dirty workarounds really" - see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749206#c3.
