Not to ask a silly question, but why not report it as a bug to MS? It
would seem to me that an incorrectly capitalized day or month name would
most certainly be a bug.
Walden, if I start writing a letter with MS Word, and type a nice
sentence starting with:
" Valencia, 15 de dici"
As soon as I type "dici", which are the starting letters for "diciembre"
in Spanish, a small window pops-up suggesting that month's name, all in
lowercase. What pops-up in your system?
I think many people would write month and weekdays names in lowercase,
so I would not consider it a MS Bug...
Tha fact I'd like to have them with the first letter capitalized doesn't
mean everybody else should agree... (<Big grin>)
Also, I don't think .NET would help at all.
I'm surprised you found 135 DLLs with Wednesday, but I don't think MS
will "relay" on "translation as part of the base C runtime"...
I would have assumed all specifics for a language and/or country would
be in what they call "regional settings" (Control Panel) or be located
somewhere in the Registry. It seems Delphy, as well as Java (and I guess
other programs as well) will retrieve that kind of data (as whether to
use decimal point or comma, currency sign, date formating d/m/y or m/d/y
, 2 or 4 digits year, etc) as what uses to be called "Locale" ... Since
this Locale exists, don't think they'll have implemented translation in
C. It's much easier for them to store that specific translation somewhere...
But where?
TIA
