[Bug 34603] Clock can't display international date format
Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34603 Comment: $ LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 date Mon Mar 20 16:31:34 CET 2006 This is precisely what the en_DK locale prescribes. Also, your manual LC_TIME definition should be en_DK.UTF-8 (not .utf8). So, what is the bug here? clock-applet should provide an option to show ISO-style? Or is the locale definiton for the date format wrong? -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34603 Comment: Note that the format comes from the translation, so it reacts to LC_MESSAGES and not LC_TIME probably -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I have filed a bug against date (coreutils) too. en_DK date would be 2006-03-20 17:49 For example, Thunderbird shows dates according to locales. http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/international_iso-8601_date_on_thunderbird.html -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 34603] Clock can't display international date format
Public bug reported: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34603 Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: Clock applet does not show international ISO-6801 date format, even though EN_DK locale English (Danish) is enabled. Instead, the clock still shows the US date Sun Mar 12, 16:49. It should show 2006-03-12 16:49. Most users like to use English user interface, but not US units and dates. Instead, most of the world uses the metric system (SI-system) and will probably be adopting ISO-8601 dates (like 2006-03-12 16:39). Suggestion: - make Clock (gnome-panel) respect EN_DK locale and - add ISO-8601 format to Clock:Preferences (it already has 24h option for time) I am using Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy with gnome-panel 2.12.1-0ubuntu. In gdm login, I chose Languages:English (Danish) as recommended in http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-tune.en.html#s-ISO-locale ~$ locale LANG=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_TIME=en_DK.utf8 LC_COLLATE=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_NAME=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_DK.UTF-8 LC_ALL= ISO-8601 date format is the recommendation of ISO and W3C: http://www.iki.fi/karvinen/international_iso-8601_date_on_thunderbird.html#see_also -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
