[libreoffice-l10n] [ANNOUNCE] Locale data date acceptance patterns, localizers HEADS UP please :)

[Eike Rathke <erack@redhat.com>]

Hi,

In order to get rid of the annoying "accept every input as date that
might resemble some date in almost any locale" behavior I recently
implemented locale dependent date acceptance patterns that need to be
matched for date input, for full details see
http://erack.org/blog/archives/8-LibreOffice-date-acceptance-patterns.html

If in your locale input of incomplete/abbreviated dates shall be
allowed, this will need a <DateAcceptancePattern> element be added to
locale data, for example in en-US it's "M/D" and in de-DE it's "D.M."
(both already in).

Just mail me the pattern(s) for your locale, I'll add it then.

Thanks
  Eike
