I have just contacted (off-line) a Czech software translator and we are goi= ng to discuss this issue more thoroughly. > You are right in guessing that the weekday mostly appears in the beginning > of a date format.

This is a case we discussed in another bug report. Your example is a compl= ete sentence translation and my answer is: no, glibc' strftime function is not supposed to support this complex cases. Its purpose is to format dates. If you need a complete sentence you need an automatic translation software. :-) > In short, I feel that the decision whether to capitalize or not should > really be left upon the author of the text. True, this is reported as bug 21370 but we don't yet have a solution. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
