[Bug 18466] New: Wine does not support genitive forms of month names

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18466

Summary: Wine does not support genitive forms of month names
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.21
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

MSDN: "Some languages, such as Finnish, German, Polish, and Russian, have
several noun forms. If you plan to use localized names provided by the system,
have a linguist check to make sure you are using them in the right context.
Windows carries both the nominative and genitive forms of Polish and Russian
month names; the form changes depending on the month name's position in the
string relative to the day name. Windows returns both forms in a single string
separated by a null value. The system carries only one form of each month name
or day name for all other languages."

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc194815.aspx

Wine ships only nominative forms for these languages. So, applications that
rely on this, render dates not as "14 мая 2009", but as "14 Май 2009".

Side note: first letter in genitive form is lower-case, as opposed to to
upper-case for nominative form.

Created an attachment (id=21240)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=21240)
russian genitive month forms appended

I've just tried appending genitive forms, but that didn't work.

This is valid bug. Genitive forms aren't defined in locale data (and no way to
retrieve it too of course).

I think I've accidentally found a way to support this. After some msdn
browsing:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd373825%28VS.85%29.aspx

Apparently Win7 introduces a way to retrieve this data using GetLocaleInfo (or
calendar api only, didn't tested yet) with a special flag:

LOCALE_RETURN_GENITIVE_NAMES

If it works it's the best way to use, cause it's transparent as much as
possible.

I'll post new info here when get tests ready.

Some update here.

I just posted first two patches about this problem:

http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2009-October/080317.html
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2009-October/080319.html

These patches add support to retrieve genitive month names using
GetLocaleInfoW.
When this will get in, will continue with:
- adding name forms to NLS cache;
- use them in GetDateFormat;
- something else like GetAltMonthNames from oleaut32...

Genitive names are supported now using GetDateFormat() (commit
8ea4102a6c6e0ce0fad52e87fdd94530475255f8).

Currently GetLocaleInfo() with LOCALE_RETURN_GENITIVE_NAMES flag and 
GetDateFormat() with corresponding format picture return genitive, so this is
fixed.
