            Bug ID: 28558
           Summary: it_IT LC_MONETARY outdated p_cs_precedes and
                    n_cs_precedes
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: d3rf3l at gmail dot com
                CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

In file localedata/locales/it_IT p_cs_precedes and n_cs_precedes are both set
to 1.

EU Rules for expressing monetary units [0] specify that all countries using
euro as official currency [1] should write the amount followed by the ‘EUR’ iso
code or euro sign (€).

This rule is reversed only for Ireland, Malta and Nederlands.

The current it_IT file still follows the rule used for the currency used in
Italy before the euro.

Looking at the glibc source the following locales are outdated, so
p_cs_precedes and n_cs_precedes should be set to 0 for:
- lv_LV [2]
- ga_IE [3]
- de_AT [4]
- it_IT [5]

I think this rule apply to the following as well:
- de_LU
- de_BE

Not sure about the following because they aren't official eu languages:
- eu_ES
- eu_ES@euro
- gl_ES
