But why should this date format be implemented in a completely different way than the rest?? The choice of genitive/nominative/whatever should be deferred to each language’s $dateFormats just as it is already for the current kinds (cf. MessagesDe.php 'j. F Y' with MessagesCs.php 'j. xg Y'). And the new messages solve nothing. You are not sure whether you should use genitive or nominative, so you split out a new set of classes, which should use… _what_? “1. leden” and “1. ledna” (January 1 in Czech) are both correct, the usage depends on context. And a generic “A date in the Gregorian month of January.” provides nothing. Were these messages specific for the specific usage in Echo, it would not be ideal (why does Echo always need something special?), but at least it would be usable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
