GNU libc (glibc) locale patch page

+ +

This page contain information about the GNU libc locale + collection, including patches, suggested formates, list of known + problems and who to contact regarding the different locales. It + is a work in progress. The page maintainer, Petter + Reinholdtsen, is working with the GNU libc maintainers to get + all the fixes included in the official releases of the + source.

+ +

References to documentation and standards

+ +

It is currently an open question where the format og locales in + glibc is documented. This list of references is at least + pointing to related docuemnts documenting the format of locales, + even if the glibc maintainers might not accept them as + authoritative.

+ +

ISO/IEC 9945-2:1993 (not freely available)
ISO/IEC + 9945:2002
The + Open Group Base Specifications Issue 6, IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 + Edition
ISO/IEC + FCD 14652
ISO/IEC FPDTR + 14652:1999(E)
ISO/IEC + TR 14652:2003

+ +

To make it easier to compare locales with each other, I + recommend using the same order in all locales. Any order will + do, so I picked a order used in several locales, and decided to + recommend this order:

+ +

LC_IDENTIFICATION +
LC_CTYPE +
LC_COLLATE +
LC_MONETARY +
LC_NUMERIC +
LC_TIME +
LC_MESSAGES +
LC_PAPER +
LC_NAME +
LC_ADDRESS +
LC_TELEPHONE +
LC_MEASUREMENT +
