Bug#604125: Time format for sv_SE should use colon, not period
Package: locales
Version: 2.11.2-7
Severity: normal
The default time format for Sweden should be HH:MM:SS, not HH.MM.SS.
This is the current output from date:
lör 20 nov 2010 14.32.22 CET
Should be:
lör 20 nov 2010 14:32:22 CET
I use these settings:
LC_TIME=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
If I change LC_TIME to en_US.UTF-8, then I get a correct time format.
(Although in english)
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8 date
Sat Nov 20 14:34:56 CET 2010
Here is also a reference:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_by_country#Sweden
"Times are written without notable exceptions with the 24-hour clock, with
colons as separators (although periods are sometimes used instead of colons,
especially in hand written text, as it was an older Swedish standard),"
