- Subject: LC_MONETARY and incorrect danish locale?
I wrote a test case for the danish locale (da_DK), but was supprised
by the formatting of the international currency. This is my current
successful test (for localedata/tst-fmon.out):
#
# Check the Danish locales (da_DK)
#
da_DK.ISO-8859-1 %n 123.45 kr 123,45
da_DK.ISO-8859-1 %n -123.45 kr -123,45
da_DK.ISO-8859-1 %n 3456.781 kr 3.456,78
da_DK.ISO-8859-1 %i 1.23 DKK 1,23
da_DK.ISO-8859-1 %i 1234.56 DKK 1.234,56
Notice the double space after DKK. I believe this should be a single
space. But I am not sure how to change the locale to only use one
space there. The current da_DK look like this:
LC_MONETARY
int_curr_symbol "<U0044><U004B><U004B><U0020>"
currency_symbol "<U006B><U0072>"
mon_decimal_point "<U002C>"
mon_thousands_sep "<U002E>"
mon_grouping 3;3
positive_sign ""
negative_sign "<U002D>"
int_frac_digits 2
frac_digits 2
p_cs_precedes 1
p_sep_by_space 2
n_cs_precedes 1
n_sep_by_space 2
p_sign_posn 4
n_sign_posn 4
END LC_MONETARY
Notice the space (U0020) at the end of int_curr_symbol. Removing the
space result in only 'DKK' being printed. This looks like a bug to
me. How is this supposed to work? How is the locale supposed to look
to get it to print "DKK 1,23" for the value 1.23?
