Locale file contributed to QA list

An updated Bulgarian locale bg_BG.xml file was contributed by Boyan Alexiev resonance at plastchim-t.com on the qa list (15 June 2015).

I'm attaching it here in order to track it for possible improvements in 4.1.2.

Note 1: Supposedly the file fixes the decimal separator only, but there are a lot of more changes (like capitalizaion in dates, separator between day and month in dates...); I'll attach the same information as a patch (that I generated with diff -w) with respect to the current bg_BG.xml for clarity.

Note 2: Obviously this should be validated with the Bulgarian translation team before the patch (in full format or in a reduced format) is applied.

Note 3: The patch is NOT to be applied as it is in any case, it is just for reference (we want to keep headers and validate individual entries in the patch).

This is currently being evaluated on the l10n list.

Reportedly, a comma should still be used as a separator for decimal numbers.

If the patch is to be applied, Vera Waldschik vwald17 at gmx.de contributed the following improvement for it on the l10n list:

Comment 4 Mechtilde 2018-12-19 10:05:41 UTC

> this should be fixed

This is locale data, not localization/translation.
Reopened the issue as the changes in bg_BG.xml should be discussed further.

Official decimal separator for Bulgaria is comma not dot.

Also officially days of the week have to be with small letter not with capital letter.

Here http://cldr.unicode.org/index you can find official locales for Bulgaria.

Hi,

It would be great, if you could create a Pull Request on GitHub for that:

Thank you!
