"WOCHENTAGKURZ") parses to full day WEEKDAY ("WOCHENTAG") with suffix "KURZ" 2011-11-10 10:42:03 +0000 1 1 9 Translations i18n de unspecified openSUSE Linux RESOLVED DUPLICATE 279174 NOR normal --- 0 torbjoern.k kde-i18n-de kde 0 oldest_to_newest 1183488 0 torbjoern.k 2011-11-10 07:46:50 +0000 Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) OS: Linux The place holder for the short version of the day of the week (SHORTWEEKDAY) does not work for the German translation. The German translation says to use "WOCHENTAGKURZ" for "SHORTWEEKDAY" and "WOCHENTAG" for "WEEKDAY". The latter works, the first doesn't. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Switch to German localised KDE 2. Go to System Settings (dt. "Systemeinstellungen") -> Region & Language (dt. "Region") -> Date & Time (dt. "Datum & Zeit") 3. add "WOCHENTAGKURZ" somewhere (possible useful) Actual Results: The day of the week is displayed in the long version and "KURZ" is directly appended: "WOCHENTAGKURZ, DD.MM.YY" -> "DonnerstagKURZ, 10.11.11" Expected Results: The short version of the day of week should be displayed: "WOCHENTAGKURZ, DD.MM.YY" -> "Do, 10.11.11" I assume the problem is, that the place holder for the short day starts with the place holder for the full day and thus the parser stops after detecting the place holder for the full day. As a quick fix I suggest altering the place holder for the short day into something, which starts differently to the other place holders. A fix for the long run would be to change the parser to detect the longest place holder possible and not stopping after the first match. 1183505 1 kde 2011-11-10 09:37:28 +0000 Maybe until the initial bug that causes that is fixed, we can change the translation to “KURZERWOCHENTAG” et al? 1183532 2 lueck 2011-11-10 10:42:03 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 279174 ***
