            Bug ID: 85954
           Summary: Improve Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) locale data
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.4.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Localization
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

A few entries in:
i18npool/source/localedata/data/zh_CN.xml
need to be improved to better fit the Simplified Chinese language.

1. The default date separater

The default date separater should be "/" rather than the full-width  "/".
This is fixed in bug 84087.

2. Date format

[YYYY"年"MMMD"日"] and [YYYY "年" MMM D "日"] are not useful at all.
I suggest changing these two to [YYYY.MM.DD] and [YY.MM.DD]. (For example, many
Chinese people uses "2014.11.06" or "14.11.06" format)

3. Months

Below:

 <DefaultAbbrvName>一月</DefaultAbbrvName>
 <DefaultFullName>一月</DefaultFullName>
 ...

One is abbreviation form, and the other one is full name. It's better to change
the abbreviation form to "1月", "2月"....

4. TRUE/FALSE

TRUE/FALSE are logical values, they'd better not be translated.

5. Quarter Abbreviation

"2014年1季" (which means 2014 Q1) is not good Chinese wording. We'd better use
"Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4" for the abbreviations.
