Hi Kon,
while we're at it, I figured I could contribute a German locale
file.
Thank you. I was going to specifically ask for one since we have a
number of German speaking users.
Note that there is no AM/PM in Germany (don't know about other
Germanophone countries but I think they don't have it either). I just
left them in so I don't break anything but feel free to correct it, of
course :-)
Actually removing the AM/PM would not stop a caller from using them,
the system would just substitute the print form of the key if a value
is not found. But no one formatting dates for a German locale would do
such a thing.
I also used the timezone name (i.e. ~Z) instead of its offset
(~z as the en locale does).
Ok. I will need to check how it used though.
What about different countries by the way? There is at least one
difference in Austrian month names I am aware of. Does SRFI-19
consider
that?
It can. By subclassing as an Austrian German, so there would be an
`at' directory under the `de' one. So the POSIX locale might be
`de_AT.UTF-8`
Note that there is a Brazilian Portuguese (pt/br) locale.
