I ran across an issue with CLDR v38 that may affect the unicode-cldr-core package. (I believe the latest package used is v32 but it's worth being aware of this issue.)One of the changes is for en_GB to change the date abbreviation for "September" from "Sep" to "Sept". This will break software that is relying on locale information to parse or generate dates, and may also break any formatting that expects 3-letter months.
Thanks for calling our attention to that. (What a stupid change! How much work will it cause, and what's the upside?)
One thought is that you may want to file a glibc bug, and that way involve the glibc maintainers in the discussion about possible consequences:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=glibc;component=localedata They seem not to have followed CLDR there, at least not yet. https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/locales/en_GB;h=5b895574acdeef2349bfe4a7307c3fd23ce612ce;hb=HEAD#l98Otherwise I think this issue is beyond the scope of software translation, and thus not suitable for further discussion on the ubuntu-translators mailing list.
