D'Orazio = --- Created attachment 13866 --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D13866&action=3Ded= it latin - Vatican locale definition Compared to the previously proposed patch, here are some of the choices I m= ade in this proposal: 1) since the Vatican doesn't have streets and street numbers, and any mail going to the Vatican needs simply have an indication of a personal name and= a department, followed by the zip (00120) and the country name (generally "Ci= tt=C3=A0 del Vaticano" in Italian is used, so that's what I put as 'country_name' un= der 'LC_ADDRESS'. Keeping all this in mind I simplified the 'postal_fmt' control characters. 2) Generally anyone being addressed at the Vatican is either the Pope, a Cardinal, a Bishop, a Monsignor, or the head of a department (will often us= e a title such as "Dottore"), so I formatted 'LC_NAME' with title, name and surname. 3) Yes and No in Latin are expressed as "Sic" and "Non". 4) Monetarily, the Vatican uses the Euro, so this is the same as the Italian locale 5) LC_NUMERIC cannot effectively be defined correctly, because Latin, even ecclesiastical Latin, uses Roman numerals. However, I don't believe any kin= d of POSIX locale supports anything besides Arabic numerals in ascending order f= rom 0 to 9. So to make this work, I just left it the same as the Italian locale. 6) For the days of the Week, ecclesiastical Latin in fact uses "Feria Secun= da" or "Feria II" rather than the classical "Dies Lunae". Seeing that a practic= al application for this could be formatting Dates to be printed in texts such = as the Roman Missal, and considering that in the Roman Missal the days of the = week are printed with Roman numerals rather than in word form ("Feria II" rather than "Feria Secunda"), I opted for using the Roman numerals in the names of= the days of the week. 7) I'm not sure I fully know the format for the 'LC_CTYPE' section, but I eyeballed the German locale to have an idea. Seeing that Latin has a few ligatures, I'm guessing they need to be defined? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
