Description Minh Nguyễn 2006-04-30 04:55:23 UTC
Currently, the Vietnamese locale offers the following four options for date formats:

1. 16:12, tháng 1 ngày 15 năm 2001
2. 16:12, ngày 15 tháng 1 năm 2001
3. 16:12, năm 2001 tháng 1 ngày 15
4. 2001-01-15 lúc 16:12:34

Of these, options 1 and 3 are incorrect and never used in Vietnamese, and option
4 should be identical to the corresponding option in the English locale, since
that's the ISO date format. These options should be changed to the following
formats:

1. 16:12, ngày 15 tháng 1 năm 2001
   to be linked as [[15 tháng 1]] năm [[2001]]
2. 16:12, ngày 15 tháng Một năm 2001
   to be linked as [[15 tháng 1|15 tháng Một]] năm [[2001]]
3. 16:12 15/1/2001
   dd/m/yyyy, to be linked as [[15 tháng 1|15/1]]/[[2001]]
4. 16h12 15/1/2001
   dd/m/yyyy, to be linked as [[15 tháng 1|15/1]]/[[2001]]
5. 2001-01-15 16:12:34
   to be linked as [[2001]]-[[15 tháng 1|01-15]]

In #2, "Một" corresponds to the month, from January to December: Một, Hai, Ba,
Tư, Năm, Sáu, Bảy, Tám, Chín, Mười, Mười một, Mười hai. These month names cannot
be taken from [[MediaWiki:January]] et al., because those use numerals like #1.
#4 is not ambiguous to Vietnamese speakers, who never use the American short
date format (mm/dd/yyyy).

Please note that, except for the default date format, none of the options
currently available even work: [[2005-01-19]] is never transformed into another
date according to the user preference, and selecting the ISO date format doesn't
do anything.
Comment 1 Minh Nguyễn 2006-04-30 06:54:20 UTC
Actually, the date preferences do work, but only in the interface. They do
nothing to personalize dates in the *content* like the English locale does, however.

Do these options look correct? Nevermind the font.
Comment 3 Minh Nguyễn 2006-05-01 17:12:39 UTC
Yep, it looks great. Your screenshot reminds me that we need to update the
localization file as a whole sometime soon, though, because there are a slew of
new interface messages.
Comment 4 Niklas Laxström 2006-05-01 17:50:42 UTC
Committed to trunk. Looks like the content personalization is only for English.
Comment 5 Minh Nguyễn 2006-05-01 19:11:26 UTC
Marking FIXED for now; I'll file a separate bug on content personalization later on.
Comment 6 Minh Nguyễn 2006-05-03 01:43:54 UTC
This fix has caused a regression: see Bug 5802 for details.
