Description Arash Mousavi 2011-04-26 16:24:16 UTC 
usually using %O flags in translations should cause the system to show numbers in locale formats e.g. if %H shows 23, using %OH in Persian locale should show ۲۳. But using these flags causes the Shell to freeze at startup (like whats happening in 3.0.1 version and Persian language)
Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2011-04-26 16:30:21 UTC 
The shell simply uses g_date_time_format() for this, so the enhancement would have to be done in GLib.
Comment 2 Dan Winship 2011-05-04 12:19:02 UTC 
glibc also supports a bunch of other useful formats. Eg, non-0-prefixed hours and days. bug 647320 suggests supporting those as well.

wip patch

Here is an unfinished patch that adds support for the O, -, _ and 0 modifiers to g_date_time_format(). Patch is missing docs and tests.

Will this patch fix bug #553770 and #511626?!
Thanks for the patch anyway! :)
