I'm confused, why would they be screwed? If you truly want ISO 8601, there are no language specific parts of the date format. Do you have a copy of the standard to follow? In ISO 8601 you never say "Monday" you always talk about the ordinal day nu= mber of the week e.g. 1. Therefore ISO 8601-compliant abday might just be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7? Likewise with everything else. The whole point of ISO 8601 is to be an international standard that is usable by everyone who can read numbers. Does that clarify why non-English speakers should be able to set LC_TIME to C@iso8601? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
