Hi,
Here's a proposal for changing the fi_FI locale date formats to
something which is recommended by the Finnish language office and
commonly used in Finland.
I have sent the patch 2001-03-09 upstream to bug-gnu-libc and keld ,
the maintainer of POSIX locales specificied in the documentation.
Current format:
$ date
to maalis 8 14:51:33 EET 2001
$ date +%x
08.03.2001
$ date +%X
14:49:52
$ date +%c
to 8 maaliskuu 2001 14:51:37
Proposed zero-padded format:
$ date
to 08.03.2001 14.49.52
$ date +%x
08.03.2001
$ date +%X
14.49.52
$ date +%c
torstai 8. maaliskuuta 2001 14.50.04
Rationale:
1) date(1) default format
"to maalis 8" is not correct Finnish usage. Assuming a relatively
short format, "to 8.3.2001 14.54.31" is what would be expected.
2) strftime %x format
although zero-padding is not the common usage with dates, probably
it's best to use zero-padding to make listings etc. appear correctly.
3) strftime %X format
zero-padding is common for time string, separator is '.' instead of ':*.
4) strftime %c format
"to 8 maaliskuu 2001 14:51:37" is not grammatically correct;
the correct usage is "torstai 8. maaliskuuta 2001 14.50.04".
Zero-padding or space-padding is not necessary, as the
lenght of the strings varies in either case.

A quick check indicates this is how it works in bookworm. Closing.
