https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17692 The currency_symbol for da_DK should be changed from "kr" to "kr." (i.e. with a trailing period). "kr." is the official spelling[1,2] according to Retskrivningsordbogen[3] published by the Danish Language Council (Dansk Sprognævn) that is the official regulatory body of the Danish language. "kr" is sometimes used informally, but I believe "kr." is much more widespread. To get an impression, see e.g. [4]. AFAICT "kr" is the preferred spelling in Norway[5] and Sweden[6]. Perhaps this is how "kr" made its way into da_DK also (it has been unchanged since da_DK was added to Git/CVS in 1997). Kind regards, Christian Schmidt [1] http://sproget.dk/lookup?SearchableText=kr [2] http://sproget.dk/raad-og-regler/retskrivningsregler/retskrivningsregler/a7-40-60/a7-41-43-punktum/a7-42-forkortelsespunktum/ [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retskrivningsordbogen [4] https://www.google.dk/search?q=priser+kr+site:dk [5] http://www.korrekturavdelingen.no/K4Forkortelser.htm [6] http://www.regeringen.se/content/1/c6/13/15/83/7be35768.pdf#page=55
