Hello Felix,

Thank you for your effort and I'm sorry for the late reply.
I think this is your first contribution for glibc.  Please note
that you don't need a copyright assignment to contribute the
locale data changes but you may need it to contribute to other
modules.

Please see the issue below:

Please use the Unicode sequences like "<U5206>" above instead
of actual Chinese characters.  Recently we have allowed using
actual characters instead of the Unicode sequences but only for
plain ASCII characters and only if they don't have a different
meaning already.  Other characters (including Chinese) may not
be portable, may be difficult or impossible to read, may be
lost while sending etc.

I have not tested your patch further due to this issue.
Please fix this and resend version 2 of your patch.

Regards,

Rafal

Please confirm this is what you wanted to achieve.  Being unable to
read Chinese script I can only verify the numbers and I can only
trust you that this is correct otherwise.

Now please look inside the localedata/locales directory. [1] There
are 5 other locales from Taiwan: cmn_TW, hak_TW, lzh_TW, nan_TW,
and nan_TW@latin.  If Minguo calendar is popular in Taiwan then do
you think that those other locales need the same update as well?
Can you please update them, and maybe squash all changes into a single
patch?

Also please see below:

I don't understand what is the prefix ("without the prefix") here.
Is this a typo or maybe just a concept I am not familiar with?

ChangeLog entry is missing here.  I don't mean updating ChangeLog and
posting the diff here but a short summary of changes should be included
in the commit message, e.g.:

        [BZ #...]
        * localedata/locales/zh_TW (LC_TIME): Add era, support Minguo
        calendar.

or 

        [BZ #...]
        * localedata/locales/zh_TW (era): Add, support Minguo calendar.

I've just realized that Bugzilla entry is missing for this issue, please
file it. [2] (Select Component: localedata).  Also add the bug number
to the first line of the commit message which is also the subject line
of this email.

There seems to be a small difference here:

$ LC_TIME=zh_TW.UTF-8 /usr/bin/date +%Ey -d 1913-01-01
2
$ LC_TIME=zh_TW.UTF-8 /usr/bin/date +%EY -d 1913-01-01

The text is correct without the zero padding before number. Am I missing
something that caused this difference?

Apart from the above difference, the other parts are correct. I have
double confirmed this on #l10n-tw too.

For nan_TW@latin maybe I need to find a Minnan user. I didn't find one
yet though. Would it be possible to leave that one out for now?

I meant the short version (%Ey), sorry for the confusion.

I'll send a revised patch soon.

Yes, it's a new feature added to glibc 2.29 shortly before the release. [1]
If you want "2" without the zero padding you must use "%-Ey" or "%-EY".

Sure.  You can contribute another patch referring to the same bug report
if you contribute it soon.  You will need to file a new bug report after
2.30 is released (August 2019).

The commit language should be straight and simple, "it would be nice..."
is nice but not necessary, I think.  Also, it will be part of the
repository,
no need to express a wish when it will have been already fulfilled. :-)

"also uses" -> "also use" (plural).

"wikipedia" -> "Wikipedia".  Otherwise correct.

All updated files must be listed here alphabetically, if the comment is
the same it should be replaced with "Likewise." E.g.,

        [BZ #24293]
        * localedata/locales/cmn_TW (era): Add, support Minguo calendar.
        * localedata/locales/hak_TW (era): Likewise.

Do I see correctly that the content of "era" is the same in all locales?
Please forgive me my ignorance, is this correct despite these are different
languages?

zh_TW is locale for the writing system of Traditional Chinese in Taiwan,
while the others are for different pronunciation systems. They are
reflecting different aspects (or variants) of the same language. I
believe most users uses zh_TW and very few uses the others. The others
can be useful for a TTS system, though.

I'll correct the issues and send next version shortly.

[PATCH v4] localedata: Add Minguo calendar support to zh_TW [BZ #24293]

[Felix Yan]

Minguo calendar is the official calendar system, and very widely used in
Taiwan. This commit adds its support into glibc.

Some background information: The government website (www.gov.tw) uses it,
popular public services like Taiwan HSR also use this calendar system.

I don't think I understand this paragraph but I believe that you mean
that this is correct despite the language difference.  Due to my lack
of knowledge about Chinese language I am unable to verify this.

That few people use a language is not a reason not to provide the
correct translation.  But that's irrelevant since (IIUC) the patch
provides correct locale data for all these languages.

Thank you, I will move to the new version.

The process you have followed is absolutely correct, as long as
you contribute to locale data or if your patch is trivial.
If you wanted to contribute to other parts, then you would have
to sign the copyright assignment. But for now it is correct,
locale data are not copyrighted. Someone (most probably myself)
will push this for you shortly.

This patch [1] has just been pushed to master with minor reword of
the subject line reflecting the fact that not just zh_TW but also
other Taiwanese locales have been updated.  Thank you Felix for your
contribution.  Feel free to contribute more patches if you have more
updates, especially for nan_TW@latin which is not yet updated.

Regards,

Rafal
