[Evolution] Reply reverses month and day in en_CA locale
Last modified: 2007-05-17 20:05:02 UTC
Forwarding this from a downstream bug report: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236399 Hitting reply results in the attribution string having the month and day reversed. Example: Fri, 09 Mar 2007 => "On Fri, 2007-09-03 ..." That should read "On Fri, 2007-03-09 ..." I'm running under en_CA. See the screenshot.

Note to translators: this is the attribution string used when quoting #. * messages. Each ${Variable} gets replaced with a value. To see a full #. * list of available variables, see em-composer-utils.c:1514 #: ../mail/em-composer-utils.c:1705 msgid "" "On ${AbbrevWeekdayName}, ${Year}-${Month}-${Day} at ${24Hour}:${Minute} " "${TimeZone}, ${Sender} wrote:" msgstr "" "On ${AbbrevWeekdayName}, ${Year}-${Day}-${Month} at ${24Hour}:${Minute} " "${TimeZone}, ${Sender} wrote:" Comment #4 From Andrew Overholt (overholt@redhat.com) on 2007-04-27 18:10 EST ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- That is *definitely* a bug. Can we fix it in our packages until Adam W. (I assume he still does the translations) gets a chance to fix upstream? A simple reversal of the ${Day} and ${Month} in msgstr would be perfect, I think. Thanks.
I don't have access to a machine I can SVN from at the moment. Please feel free to make it Year-Month-Day. For the record, I'd still prefer to have Day-Month-Year though.
Oops. Didn't mean to close the bug there.
Fixed in Subversion trunk (revision 33465).
