Hello,
Now for the Problem: There is a problem with the translation of the
english word "March" to the german "März". Instead of "März" i get "MäRz"
(with uppercase "r").
You can reproduce it as follow:
# SET lc_time = "de_DE.UTF-8";
# SELECT to_char('2011-03-04 00:00:01'::date, 'TMMonth YYYY');
to_char
-----------
MäRz 2011
I did not find the translation file for this, so i can't add a patch or
check for other misspellings.
My System:
PostgreSQL 9.0.3
FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE
Thats very likely a problem of your operating systems locales. What
spelling does the month have if you construct it with `date` or such?
Done directly at the bash on the same system:
$ date +%B
March
$ export LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
$ date +%B
März
And in PostgreSQL:
# SET lc_time = "de_DE.UTF-8";
SET
# SELECT to_char(current_date, 'TMMonth YYYY');
to_char
-----------
MäRz 2011
I also can reproduce this at a FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE.
IIRC, the FreeBSD locales at least used to be pretty much broken for
UTF8. Can you try and see if you get the same problem in a non-UTF8
locale?
Doesn't work proper at my bash, even the dirty way:
$ export LC_ALL=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LC_PAPER=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LC_MONETARY=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LC_COLLATE=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export XTERM_LOCALE=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LANGUAGE=de_DE.ISO8859-1:de
$ export LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LC_TIME=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LC_NAME=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ export LC_ALL=de_DE.ISO8859-1
$ date +%B
M�z
I can't figure out, why the umlaut is not displayed correctly.
In PostgreSQL it looks interesting:
# SET lc_time = "de_DE.ISO8859-1";
SET
0.3.impos=# SELECT to_char(current_date, 'TMMonth YYYY');
to_char

The missing Umlaut could be an error of the bash, but the upperase "r"
is still there.
Greetings,
Torsten
