Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 42723
Thai locale data incomplete
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:00:08 UTC
The Thai locale data located at i18npool/source/localedata/data/th_TH.xml need to be revised. It's not fully localized yet. Most of the changes needed are in the LC_FORMAT section that contains format codes for date/time/number and will be showed up in the Calc's dialog box - Format Cell/Numbers. For example, Thai write day-of-month before month (D/M/YY). Thai use Buddhist calendar (which is supported in OOo by the tag {~buddhist}). And Thai has its national number system (which is also supported in OOo by the tag [natnum1]). So a lot of simple changes need to be made to the locale data file. I've attached a simplified patch (from OpenOfficeTLE project) to give you a picture of what will need to be changed. We'll submit the complete patch when we've finalized the content of the Thai th_TH.xml file.
Created attachment 22582 [details] Cut-down version of patch to th_TH.xml to show example of needed change
Confirmed.
Also have to make sure that Thai locale data in both OpenOffice.org and Common Locale Data Repository are correct and in sync. ---- references: Locale Data Audit http://l10n.openoffice.org/i18n_framework/cldr/LocaleDataAudit_OOo_CLDR.html th_TH (Thai_Thailand) http://l10n.openoffice.org/i18n_framework/cldr/LocaleDataAudit_OOo_CLDR.html#1329 Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) Project http://www.unicode.org/cldr/
Thai locale data in CLDR http://www.unicode.org/cldr/data/diff/main/th_TH.html
Split to support for Thai date formats, Thai numbering types and Thai native number.
set target to 2.0
FT->ER: Can you please take care of this. If it is too tight for 2.0 please re-target to 2.0.1. Thx a lot.
A more recent th_TH.xml patch is attached to issue 43766. Arthit, regarding CLDR data please discuss on the dev@l10n mailing list. If CLDR data is not correct then please file a bug at http://www.jtcsv.com/cgibin/locale-bugs and include reference, online or books, of your claims to get changes in. In any case, please leave a note on dev@l10n so that I can update the audit document. Thanks Eike *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 43766 ***
