DATE_FORMAT, DATETIME_FORMAT and MONTH_DAY_FORMAT strings in Catalan
language are wrong because it uses always the preposition "de" between the
day number and the month name but it is wrong when the month name starts
with vowel like abril (April), agost (August) or octubre (October). In
that case it should be d'abril, d'agost or d'octubre.
I think that alt.month Month translations were created to help in this
kind of situations (https://github.com/django/django/commit/2478f8588e) so
this issue can be solved by a combination of a Catalan formats.py patch
(django/conf/locale/ca/formats.py) and changing that translations (via
Transifex).
Actual:
DATE_FORMAT = r"j \d\e F \d\e Y"
msgid "January"
msgstr "enero"
msgid "April"
msgstr "abril"
{item.date | date} output -> 25 de enero de 2007
{item.date | date} output -> 4 de abril de 2014 ---> THIS IS WRONG
Proposal:
DATE_FORMAT = r"j E \d\e Y" # E placeholder: alt. month translations for
special cases.
msgctxt "alt. month"
msgid "January"
msgstr "de enero"
msgctxt "alt. month"
msgid "April"
msgstr "d'abril"
{item.date | date} output -> 25 de enero de 2007
{item.date | date} output -> 4 d'abril de 2014
I'm trying to reach Catalan Transifex Team to add those strings, I think
.po/.mo files won't follow the usual pull request way, but they must be
changed before this file gets patched.
Alternative month representation is available since this
