Subject: Bikeshed invitation for nl_langinfo ambiguities
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2017 21:06:12 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171111020612.GV1627@brightrain.aerifal.cx> (raw)
I've found 2 ambiguous-string-to-translate bugs in musl's locale
support in nl_langinfo: The pairs ABMON_5 and MON_5 ("May"), and T_FMT
and ERA_T_FMT ("%H:%M:%S"), have the same values in the C locale, and
thus can't be translated to distinct values like they need to be in
other locales.
Any opinions on the cleanest way to handle this? There are various
hacks I could do at the implementation level, like adding a prefix
character to one or the other then applying +1 to the output string,
But whatever solution we choose becomes a public interface for
translators, so it should be something that's not horribly ugly.
So.... it's bikeshed time.
Rich
