But am I correct to assume that with your solution, languages which don’t need different standalone and “format” forms would just always return the nominative (standalone) form? I.e. basically nothing changes for them? For example, *with* your patches to glibc: Original string is “%B %d”, which in the en_US locale expands to “April 20”. Polish translation is “%d %B”, which correctly gives us “20 kwietnia[genitive]“. Translation to a hypothetical Western language that doesn’t employ genitive in this context is also “%d %B”, which correctly gives us “20 aprilo[nominative]“. This is how every other platform works right now.
