Bug ID: 22019
Summary: Wrong placement of monetery symbol in el_GR (negative
amounts)
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: localedata
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: tzotzioy+bzl at gmail dot com
CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
In el_GR.UTF-8 the field n_cs_precedes is set to 1 while p_cs_precedes is set
to 0; this leads to the following formatting of monetary amounts:
* 16,20€
* -€16,80
This goes against common public usage of monetary amounts, and n_cs_precedes
should be set to 0 just like p_cs_precedes.
I understand that I should provide a link to a proper standard (assumably from
http://www.elot.gr/default_en.aspx , the Greek Standards Organisation) but it's
difficult to provide one (web searches did not produce results, so I have
contacted them by email and am still in the
wait-for-a-reply-by-someone-in-the-know phase). I will try to update the issue
with any relevant information.
In the meantime, I will see the proper way to submit a patch as an attachment
here.
(Unless I happen to locate some pointer to a standard in the
glibc/localedata/locales/el_GR change log.)
