            Bug ID: 27174
           Summary: CLDR v38 and en_GB date issues
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

  Target Milestone: ---

I ran across an issue with CLDR v38 that may affect the=20
unicode-cldr-core package. (I believe the latest package used is v32 but=20
it's worth being aware of this issue.)

One of the changes is for en_GB to change the date abbreviation for=20
"September" from "Sep" to "Sept".  This will break software that is=20
relying on locale information to parse or generate dates, and may also=20
break any formatting that expects 3-letter months.

A thread which discusses how it affects a DateTime::Local perl module is=20
at https://groups.perlists.pm/sympa/arc/london.pm/2021-01/msg00007.html=20
but I imagine this will affect anything that relies on CLDR data.

I have reported the issue to the Unicode group at=20
https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/CLDR-14412

I have also noted the bug on the Ubuntu Translators list at
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-translators/2021-January/007729.ht=
ml
where I was referred to here.
