Re: [PATCH][BZ #14694] Fix weekday and month names for mr_IN

Hi,

Pravin Satpute posted a patch in Fedora bz #864820 to fix names of
'Wednesday', 'September' and 'October' in the mr_IN locale.
Details of the fix:

* The full weekday name for Wednesday was incorrectly written as Tuesday
* The names for September and October are incorrectly spelt.  The
   current spellings would be pronounced as 'Say-ptember' and
   'Oh-ctober', which is wrong.

mr_IN is one of my native languages (my mother tongue), so I can confirm
that the fix is correct.  However, I could not find an online resource
better than [1] to back this, so it looks like this does not fall under
the obvious category.  The original authors of the locale as recorded
in the locale file (Kentaroh Noji and Tetsuji Orita) are in cc.
Kentaroh, Tetsuji: could one of you please review the changes and ack
if you're OK with them?

Thanks,
Siddhesh

	[BZ #14694]
	* locales/mr_IN: Fix day, abmon, mon.
For abmon/mon, it looks to me like this patch changes August as well. Correct?


I've compared the changes with the CLDR database and the changes make our locale match CLDR for on these issues.


If nobody objects, I'd say go ahead and check this in at the end of the week. If someone objects, they we need to document how and why we're diverging from CLDR.
