If Slovenian uses genitive case month names in dates (I guess it does) then please obtain the current Slovenian locale data file http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/plain/i18npool/source/localedata/data/sl_SI.xml and add the <GenitiveMonths> (and possibly <PartitiveMonths>) elements as described below.

Maybe this overview will help: * Locale data (submitted by localizer): * <MonthsOfYear> element, nominative (nouns) month names * always specified * includes <Month>, <MonthID>, <DefaultAbbrvName> and <DefautFullName> elements * <GenitiveMonths> element, genitive case month names * optional * follows the <MonthsOfYear> element * consists of same elements as <MonthsOfYear> element * if <GenitiveMonths> are not specified then <MonthsOfYear> names are used * <PartitiveMonths> element, partitive case month names * optional * follows the <GenitiveMonths> element, or follows the <MonthsOfYear> element if the <GenitiveMonths> element is not specified * consists of same elements as <MonthsOfYear> element * if <PartitiveMonths> are not specified then <GenitiveMonths> names are used, if that is not specified then <MonthsOfYear> names are used * Rules for use of nominative / genitive / partitive case month names in number formatter when encountering MMM or MMMM: * MMM or MMMM immediately preceded or followed by a literal character other than space => nominative month name (noun), for Excel and backwards compatibility such as Finnish MMMM"ta" * no day of month (D or DD) present in format code => nominative name * day of month (D or DD) after MMM or MMMM => genitive name * no genitive names defined => nominative names * day of month (D or DD) before MMM or MMMM => partitive name * no partitive names defined => genitive names * no genitive names defined => nominative names * NOTE: if only <MonthsOfYear> and <PartitiveMonths> are specified but not <GenitiveMonths>, then for D(D) MMM(M) formats the <MonthsOfYear> nominative name is displayed. Only for MMM(M) D(D) formats the <PartitiveMonths> name is displayed. Eike -- LibreOffice Calc developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.
