https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216102 ------- Comment #17 from alpha096@tpg.com.au 2006-11-22 02:29 MST ------- There is an exception for everyone who does not uses an English Dictionary Who does not live in the US nor the U.K and dont use US Date Time formats. That sort of covers a great deal of people in the world. I use a US Keyboard for the character set. I live in a non US English country as there is no Australian English Dictionary available ( Open Office has one available) I don't live in the USA so I don't use their Date Time format. There are so many English Dictionary's available now and in time there will be an AU one and I will be able to select location Australia and Dictionary Australia English and automated processes will work just fine. Every NON UK Location, where you use English but don't live in the USA (and that is a lot of people) faced this automated delima with software 10 years ago where there was not an local English Dictionary available so we use a UK, however we don't live there but be use the keyboard characters of a US Keyboard, but don't want use their Date format. Automation WILL work (currently) correctly for you under only these 2 conditions. 1. You live in the USA. 2. You live in the UK. Only the USA uses their date format no one else who lives in an English speaking country uses their format. Most professionals are who have been around a long time are all very use to this problem, where software is early in development and after years of installing Networks and associated application we are use to thinking about the implications of our installation decisions in the absence of the distinctly correct option being available. P.S Just one other thing - The term UTC. This new term which has surfaced in the last 3 years represents GMT is only really understood and used in the USA. No matter how old some one is throught the world, if they are involved in Data they will understand what GMT means. - Its the physical place where time is measured from and it seems parochial to not to keep using it. I just think we should be building software for the World not North America. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
