Bug ID: 16975
Summary: Revisit yesstr/nostr LC_MESSAGES capitalization in all
locales
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: localedata
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: myllynen at redhat dot com
CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
>From https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Locales:
"In yesstr and nostr the beginning should reflect whether the beginning of the
word is capitalized or in lowercase. This is in line with other specifications
in glibc locales, where e.g. day names and month names reflect the use of lower
and upper case as prescribed in dictionaries, which records the canonical form
of the word or phrase. This is also in accordance with use in POSIX and ISO TR
14652, and general guidelines for definitions in ISO/IEC."
For the background discussion, see the yesstr/nostr messages found at
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-locales/2013-q2/.
But instead of fixing locales one by one, most/all locales should be revisited
at the same to make this uniform policy change.
This bug is to track this change.
