Hi all,

I'm also a member of the Serbian GNOME localization team and my opinion is
that any change that would make the translation more natural to the end user
is a welcome one.

I can't tell which form is more natural to the Serbian end users,
that's why I'm asking the translators.

For now, if a phrase "24. јануар" ("24. januar") is correct in Serbian
then I suggest to leave it unchanged, at least for now. You may rethink
it later and if you find it useful to have two cases and worth the effort
we may apply the change in the next development cycle which ends in
6 months.

The same I'd suggest for Czech and Slovak languages unless they change
their minds in the coming days.

It would even be better if it was possible to handle all cases
(something akin to
the Mozilla's L20N[0]) but that's probably out of the scope for this change.

Yes, this has been discussed and we have decided that is too complex.
The aim of strftime() is to format a date. Using it in sentences is
too much. Of course this is nice if a formatted date can be used
in a sentence but this is not obligatory to implement it in strftime().

Regards,

Rafal
