            Bug ID: 23140
           Summary: More languages need two forms of month names
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.27
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: digitalfreak at lingonborough dot com
                CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

The aim of this bug report is to gather the changes for all languages which
need two forms of month names.  As a result of fixing the bug 10871 this
feature is now supported by glibc but originally the locale data for only 7
languages have been updated (Belarusian, Croatian, Greek, Lithuanian, Polish,
Russian, Ukrainian) followed by two more: Catalan (bug 22848) and Czech (bug
22963).  Here is a more complete list of languages which need update or at
least an attention:

* Asturian,
* Finnish (most probably the local community does not want this because a
workaround exists and has been adapted),
* Kashubian,
* Lower Sorbian (currently not supported by glibc, either its support is added
to glibc first or please ignore this entry),
* Occitan (new in this list),
* Ossetian,
* Scottish Gaelic,
* Serbian (must be discussed with the local community),
* Silesian (not supported by CLDR, I have no reliable source of locale data),
* Slovak (must be discussed with the local community),
* Upper Sorbian,
* Walloon.

The list can be extended by the languages which do not need two grammatical
forms but want to use this feature to begin the month names with upper or lower
case letter depending on whether they are standalone or in full date context. 
CLDR provides such data for 13 locales.
