[REBOL] Need month names and abbreviations for "All" languages of the world!
From: gjones05::mail::orion::org at: 31-May-2001 11:43
Hi fellow REBOLers,
Thorsten Moeller discovered that the FTP scheme in REBOL will not
correctly read from his German file server because the month
abbreviations are different from the English versions included in REBOL.
We are working to patch the FTP scheme so that any ftp file server
language abbreviation can be accommodated. I used AltaVista's BabelFish
to find possible month names in the languages that it translates
between, but I cannot verify these names, nor the expected 3 letter
abbreviation. I've included a tentative list below from which to work.
Please excuse the likely errors and *make alterations* that are
necessary. And, as importantly, please add the bulk of the languages
that are not included (I can readily think of the following countries
represented on the list: Sweden, Czech Rep., Netherlands, Belgium,
Japan, Denmark, Brazil, Slovak Rep., Russia), especially if you know
that "Internationalized" versions of OSes use languages other than
English.
Thanks in advance!
