            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.)
