There is an annoying error in the date command for quite some time when using Greek locale. If date is instructed to print month and day of month, the translation is wrong and looks funny... You have to be able to write Greek in order to understand it and since the bug exists we assume no one from coreutils developers knows Greek. As a result we will explain every month in detail as it will be Greek to you. Remove "LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8" from the commands to get the date in English. This is what you get with "B Y" (month year), which is correct: $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%B %Y" -d "2015-01-01" =CE=99=CE=B1=CE=BD=CE=BF=CF=85=CE=AC=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%B %Y" -d "2015-02-01" =CE=A6=CE=B5=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=BF=CF=85=CE=AC=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%B %Y" -d "2015-03-01" =CE=9C=CE=AC=CF=81=CF=84=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%B %Y" -d "2015-04-01" =CE=91=CF=80=CF=81=CE=AF=CE=BB=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%B %Y" -d "2015-05-01" =CE=9C=CE=AC=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%B %Y" -d "2015-06-01" =CE=99=CE=BF=CF=8D=CE=BD=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%B %Y" -d "2015-07-01" =CE=99=CE=BF=CF=8D=CE=BB=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%B %Y" -d "2015-08-01" =CE=91=CF=8D=CE=B3=CE=BF=CF=85=CF=83=CF=84=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%B %Y" -d "2015-09-01" =CE=A3=CE=B5=CF=80=CF=84=CE=AD=CE=BC=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%B %Y" -d "2015-10-01" =CE=9F=CE=BA=CF=84=CF=8E=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%B %Y" -d "2015-11-01" =CE=9D=CE=BF=CE=AD=CE=BC=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%B %Y" -d "2015-12-01" =CE=94=CE=B5=CE=BA=CE=AD=CE=BC=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 This is what you get with "d B Y" (month year), which is wrong: $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-01-01" 01 =CE=99=CE=B1=CE=BD=CE=BF=CF=85=CE=AC=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 damn@rsee:~$ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-02-01" 01 =CE=A6=CE=B5=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=BF=CF=85=CE=AC=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 damn@rsee:~$ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-03-01" 01 =CE=9C=CE=AC=CF=81=CF=84=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 damn@rsee:~$ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-04-01" 01 =CE=91=CF=80=CF=81=CE=AF=CE=BB=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 damn@rsee:~$ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-05-01" 01 =CE=9C=CE=AC=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 damn@rsee:~$ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-06-01" 01 =CE=99=CE=BF=CF=8D=CE=BD=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 damn@rsee:~$ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-07-01" 01 =CE=99=CE=BF=CF=8D=CE=BB=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 damn@rsee:~$ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-08-01" 01 =CE=91=CF=8D=CE=B3=CE=BF=CF=85=CF=83=CF=84=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 damn@rsee:~$ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-09-01" 01 =CE=A3=CE=B5=CF=80=CF=84=CE=AD=CE=BC=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 damn@rsee:~$ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-10-01" 01 =CE=9F=CE=BA=CF=84=CF=8E=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 damn@rsee:~$ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-11-01" 01 =CE=9D=CE=BF=CE=AD=CE=BC=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 damn@rsee:~$ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-12-01" 01 =CE=94=CE=B5=CE=BA=CE=AD=CE=BC=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BF=CF=82 2015 Here is what the date command should print with "d B Y" (month year), in el_GR.UTF-8 locale: $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-01-01" 01 =CE=99=CE=B1=CE=BD=CE=BF=CF=85=CE=B1=CF=81=CE=AF=CE=BF=CF=85 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-02-01" 01 =CE=A6=CE=B5=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=BF=CF=85=CE=B1=CF=81=CE=AF=CE=BF=CF=85 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-03-01" 01 =CE=9C=CE=B1=CF=81=CF=84=CE=AF=CE=BF=CF=85 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-04-01" 01 =CE=91=CF=80=CF=81=CE=B9=CE=BB=CE=AF=CE=BF=CF=85 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-05-01" 01 =CE=9C=CE=B1=CE=AF=CE=BF=CF=85 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-06-01" 01 =CE=99=CE=BF=CF=85=CE=BD=CE=AF=CE=BF=CF=85 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-07-01" 01 =CE=99=CE=BF=CF=85=CE=BB=CE=AF=CE=BF=CF=85 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-08-01" 01 =CE=91=CF=85=CE=B3=CE=BF=CF=8D=CF=83=CF=84=CE=BF=CF=85 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-09-01" 01 =CE=A3=CE=B5=CF=80=CF=84=CE=B5=CE=BC=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=AF=CE=BF=CF=85 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-10-01" 01 =CE=9F=CE=BA=CF=84=CF=89=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=AF=CE=BF=CF=85 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-11-01" 01 =CE=9D=CE=BF=CE=B5=CE=BC=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=AF=CE=BF=CF=85 2015 $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %B %Y" -d "2015-12-01" 01 =CE=94=CE=B5=CE=BA=CE=B5=CE=BC=CE=B2=CF=81=CE=AF=CE=BF=CF=85 2015 In Greek language things are different and complex compared to English. We have accents (=CF=84=CF=8C=CE=BD=CE=BF=CF=85=CF=82) for most wo= rds and words are not fixed but can dynamically change depending on context. When the month is accompanied by a day of month the accent (Greek tonos/=CF=84=CF=8C=CE=BD=CE=BF=CF=82) changes and ...=CE=BF=CF=82 becomes .= ..=CE=BF=CF=85. To fix this, use the correct translations for months, if and only if %B and %d are used together. If the month is called with no day (%d) using "%B" or if the month is called with "%d %b" or "%b" leave the translations as they are. Since there are many computer-science oriented Greek universities and so many Greeks around the world, we are amazed that no one fixed it so far. We must also inform you that this silly bug of yours has been seen in webpa= ges.

What should REALLY happen is that libc's strftime(3) (which is what date(1) uses under the hood - the % modifiers are the same) should support something like %OB to trigger a locale's alternative representation, as the %O modifier is already used for other locales that have different displays. But right now, POSIX says %OB is undefined behavior (look for the section on Modified Conversion Specifiers): http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/strftime.html and on glibc, it does nothing: $ LC_TIME=3Del_GR.UTF-8 date +"%d %OB %Y" -d "2015-12-01" 01 %OB 2015 I guess what it boils down to is that when defining a locale, the existing 'era', 'era_d_format', 'era_t_format', and 'era_d_t_format' affect existing %E uses, and 'alt_digits' affects existing %O uses http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap07.html#t= ag_07_03_05 and the ideal solution would be adding a new locale file entry for 'alt_months' that would then let %OB provide the locale's alternate month names. Then you could write your string as "%d %OB %Y" to get the grammatically correct output. > Since there are many computer-science oriented Greek universities and > so many Greeks around the world, we are amazed that no one fixed it so > far. > We must also inform you that this silly bug of yours has been seen in w= ebpages. Coreutils will automatically pick up any fixes in glibc, you'll need to get it fixed there first. It would be nice to get POSIX to standardize %OB, but that would be easier if you could first get glibc to implement the solution to show that it makes sense. --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --gDGN67ClElqkMuCqjF8LTRs6xs8KEndUi Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJU3jrSAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqavAH/j5UPn+pNm6wKLGULcT5srYA xIMrSMUA8f/7dXprQdd1Rsy8oVsgRoDRBqROHvJsbi/Gz9rFQvtQmhjgRuFLfXfo sBiIQgXfSXpgCakfsa3LCpZE4WeFKDCKToaRlxGMyYtwrX+sjhvBFQT0mWvpVBUG 3ks452tGzjmtuTMaqJM3++u6UkgUjkzSnnsLMOqdH7bFyHzRBYI6oqhxmivQP1bm D66CNNRaPfxW2R0+NNt2CIjliSOGHUDBPR4b9JA7Mhja9eFOzsvoywTyl6GPzcPT 2lyq/lCF7hk/Yn6yiV6h6ftyjRKjU/BIyLo6OfVvpZejF9+I+FfS5BYC+2ff97E= =MgQy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --gDGN67ClElqkMuCqjF8LTRs6xs8KEndUi-- From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Fri Feb 13 15:29:32 2015 Received: (at 19856) by debbugs.gnu.org; 13 Feb 2015 20:29:32 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:42270 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1YMMrg-0003HL-8P for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Fri, 13 Feb 2015 15:29:32 -0500 Received: from khavrinen.csail.mit.edu ([128.30.28.20]:42586) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1YMLnQ-0001Tr-45 for 19856@debbugs.gnu.org; Fri, 13 Feb 2015 14:21:00 -0500 Received: from khavrinen.csail.mit.edu (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by khavrinen.csail.mit.edu (8.14.9/8.14.9) with ESMTP id t1DJKxhW045045 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=FAIL CN=khavrinen.csail.mit.edu issuer=Client+20CA); Fri, 13 Feb 2015 14:20:59 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from wollman@khavrinen.csail.mit.edu) Received: (from wollman@localhost) by khavrinen.csail.mit.edu (8.14.9/8.14.9/Submit) id t1DJKwdY045042; Fri, 13 Feb 2015 14:20:58 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from wollman) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Message-ID: <21726.20122.939102.882903@khavrinen.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2015 14:20:58 -0500 From: Garrett Wollman To: Eric Blake Subject: Re: bug#19856: Bad month translation printed with date command in Greek locale In-Reply-To: <54DE3AD2.2070407@redhat.com> References: <54DE3AD2.2070407@redhat.com> X-Mailer: VM 7.17 under 21.4 (patch 22) "Instant Classic" XEmacs Lucid X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-4.4.3 (khavrinen.csail.mit.edu [127.0.0.1]); Fri, 13 Feb 2015 14:20:59 -0500 (EST) X-Spam-Score: -2.3 (--) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: 19856 X-Mailman-Approved-At: Fri, 13 Feb 2015 15:29:25 -0500 Cc: 19856@debbugs.gnu.org, Nick & John , Austin Group X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.15 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: -2.3 (--) < said: > Coreutils will automatically pick up any fixes in glibc, you'll need to > get it fixed there first.

Wow, 5 years where glibc has not picked it up is a bit long; I've added information to what looks like the most relevant glibc bug https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D12651 to see if we can get more eyes on it and hopefully implemented for more than just BSD systems. It also looks like the POSIX wording is very specific on which of the two forms is genitive vs nominative, and that glibc's current locale is using the wrong form for %B. --=20 Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --j8S5DpoJi3F5OvBt3iP3HHL1BtJS3H1Kl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJU3oEZAAoJEKeha0olJ0Nql6QH/iTRcwpjwarC1RF4RGOsp/Ug L9CWtki4e5vR0gXp/eSiHAv1C8m9CiCJU+P37VFnAdq7sdANxxWNTUz5GdMI8UlC 9DJ86Ktte/h/ru4liPFDh7YCh/K5a5hRdmk2bmPHLFuLlUZ9T/1+XLvyNBs5G/MN 7AQFo3Z4pLGSMxT0E9be7znOX8KTZC/1jbMKsTxhwb7S33b7cS2KbxUs9w4Nvb41 v0H8NQ6doRJowN8rnSHC3S5XWcVLKQaf6GrhDZHXKhvlL8BIGmJ6avBaia2Itv3Y AVp5B1/Pz0T/YcGS9faadUnqT7Tgyfs3rfBH6xdu6+cpPJEsD7wrdqs+Tk0DdPM= =QeVW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --j8S5DpoJi3F5OvBt3iP3HHL1BtJS3H1Kl-- From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sat Feb 14 04:53:03 2015 Received: (at 19856) by debbugs.gnu.org; 14 Feb 2015 09:53:03 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:42711 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1YMZPL-0000wG-Ev for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Sat, 14 Feb 2015 04:53:03 -0500 Received: from fester.cwi.nl ([192.16.191.27]:40117) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1YMZPI-0000vl-JN for 19856@debbugs.gnu.org; Sat, 14 Feb 2015 04:53:01 -0500 Received: from fester.cwi.nl (fester.cwi.nl [192.16.191.27]) by fester.cwi.nl with ESMTP id t1E9qis5004916 for ; Sat, 14 Feb 2015 10:52:44 +0100 Received: from localhost (a80-101-109-117.adsl.xs4all.nl [80.101.109.117]) (authenticated bits=0) by fester.cwi.nl (8.14.4/8.12.3) with ESMTP id t1E9qhqO004913 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA bits=128 verify=NO); Sat, 14 Feb 2015 10:52:43 +0100 Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2015 10:52:26 +0100 From: "Andries E.

Different languages have different systems of flection, and the situation is far too complicated for POSIX to describe. In many languages the day number is an ordinal number, not a cardinal number. Even for English I don't know whether there is a convenient way to generate April 1st, April 2nd. Or for French 1er avril, 2 avril.

The roots of this bug are in glibc project, this bug: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10871 It has been fixed now. But coreutils and date command line utility does not use strftime() from glibc directly. Instead it uses fprintftime() from Gnulib. Fortunately, the changes from glibc have been also ported to Gnulib: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=4a236f1 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=b5d3175 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=703dcf1 (and few more). So the only thing that needs to be done for coreutils is to bump the version of Gnulib module used and make sure that the most recent glibc is used. This makes %B generate the genitive case of the month name in the languages which need it and introduces %OB (and %Ob) format specifiers to generate the nominative case on demand. This is the same design as used in BSD.
