Bug#532696: kmail mistakenly uses genetive while displaying months only in message list (in Polish, language dependent)
Package: kmail
Version: 4:4.2.4-1
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n
Sorry if this was reported before. I didn't have time to look through the list
very meticulously.
This problem is language specific so I guess I should describe what I mean.
KDE always had my appreciation for using the correct gramatical case for dates
when the appropriate option in local settings was ticked. The problem is Polish
only uses genetive for specific dates. Eg. current month in Polish is 'czerwiec'
(June) and the date today is '10 czerwca'. (It comes from the full expression
that can be translated as 'June's 10th day', hence genetive is used.)
Anyway, the problem is kmail uses the month's name in genetive even without
the day, which looks really silly. It's visible eg. in inbox where old messages
are grouped by month.
Since KDE already stores both versions of the month's name it's the problem
of kmail using one of them to display dates whereas it should mix and match
to fit the usage. I'm not sure how this looks like in different languages, but
I'm quite certain all Slavic languages follow the same pattern.
