Re: Updated month name translations needed in GLib

Hi all,

(I’m not subscribed to the list, so please CC me in replies.)

As discussed previously[1], nominative/genitive month name support has
come to GLib. We’ve got a few unit tests which depend on translations
existing for the new month name strings[2] which are currently broken
due to the new strings being missing in the following locales:
 • fr_FR
 • el_GR
 • hr_HR
 • lt_LT
 • ru_RU

There’s also this bug[3] which requires the same updates in ja_JP.

Could the translation teams please prioritise updating the month name
strings in GLib? Both for the sake of making the tests pass, and for
making sure users in your locale get correctly-translated month names.
In locales with no nominative/genitive difference, you still need to
update the translations to avoid the C-locale string being used in the
new context.

For many languages, this will be a case of copying the existing strings
from one context to the other, unchanged. Those languages which have a
difference between nominative and genitive forms will have to be a bit
more careful. Typically, the strings should be the same as the output
of `locale mon` on a system running the latest glibc release.

If anybody has any questions about the translations, let me or Rafal
know.


Reminder for *every* translation team: you should update strings from
glib/gdatetime.c in GLib to avoid a chance of English dates in the
next GNOME release. Languages which won’t get an update soon will get
a commit from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/commits/wip/piotrdrag/missing-months
merged.

Thank you for your hard work,
