[Bug localedata/20275] New: Trailing spaces in Albanian locales


https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20275

            Bug ID: 20275
           Summary: Trailing spaces in Albanian locales
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          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: ---

While playing with locales I accidentally spotted that all day of week names
(both full and abbreviated) in Albanian end with additional trailing space
which is probably unnecessary. Here is how to reproduce:

$ LANG=sq_AL.utf8 locale -ck LC_TIME
LC_TIME
abday="Die ;HÃn ;Mar ;MÃr ;Enj ;Pre ;Sht "
day="e diel ;e hÃnà ;e martà ;e mÃrkurà ;e enjte ;e premte ;e shtunà "
[...]
date_fmt="%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"
$ LANG=sq_AL.utf8 date
Sht  Qer 18 16:49:51 CEST 2016

Notice two spaces between "Sht" and "Qer".

I can't speak a single word in Albanian so probably it's worth consulting with
actual Albanian speaking people but I think those additional spaces are not
necessary.

Also maybe it's worth to grep over all locales and search for unnecessary
leading/trailing spaces.

I've checked the git history of Albanian locales and those spaces have been
there since these locales have been introduced.
