Hi, when discussing issues about Greek locale, Konstantinos Margaritis and I realized that date_fmt field had been added in glibc to other POSIX fields in order to customize output of the 'date' command. This means that with the latest belocs-locales-data upload, Greek and French speaking people should no more be surprised by 'date' output.
If your language also has a wrong output, please file bugreports against belocs-locales-data (you can of course file a similar bug report against the locales package). But contact your l10n list first to make sure that there is a consensus within your community on the best display output. In order to determine this field, you can run date like this: $ date +"%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" to test string formats. See strftime(3) for explanations on %-sequences. The -d flag is also useful, e.g. $ date +"%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" -d 23:45 to see time in the afternoon, or $ date +"%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y" -d 2005-03-04 to check output when day of the month has only one digit.
