Bug#747645: locales: AM/PM string missing in es_DO locale
Package: locales
Version: 2.18-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
As can be seen in this comment[1] on LaunchPad, Dominican Republic use the
am/pm denotation instead of the 24-hours. I've patched this locally several
times, so I think is time for a more definitive fix.
I've reported this upstream[2] along others issues but it takes too much
time to get it fixed. For now, I think this is the most pressing issue.
There's available a patch for Ubuntu[3], but this is essentially the changes:
