Incorrect date formatting in Italian

[jsilland]

Time.now.to_datetime.localize(:it).to_date.to_medium_s
=> "06/ago/2014"

As per our Italian linguists, this is incorrect – The correct separator should be a space in this case

This pattern comes directly from CLDR data over here, so if you're sure it's incorrect, you should submit a ticket for CLDR. Looks like they're using spaces for 'long' format, but slashes for 'medium' and 'short'.

I reported the bug to CLDR. If you agree to keep this bug open, I can update it with their response when I receive it

We sure can keep the ticket open, but I should warn you that most likely the fix will get into twitter-cldr-rb only after a new version of CLDR with this fixed is released and twitter-cldr-rb is upgraded to that CLDR version. It'll take some time, but I'd rather not update our resources manually before that. If it's critical for your needs, I guess you can fork twitter-cldr-rb and apply the fix earlier.

I fully recognize that fixing this issue will take a couple of release cycles on both ends, as well as for the CLDR folks to actually acknowledge the issue prior to that. In the meantime, we're mitigating the issue by switching to a different format in this particular use case.

With that said, CLDR's issue tracking appears to be fairly opaque (I was given no link to actually check on the status of the issue) and I would like for this to be publicly searchable and tracked, even if it takes place in a non-official binding of CLDR.

I've never reported CLDR issues myself, but @camertron might know something about the process. It'd be great to link CLDR ticket here, so we can keep track of it. Did you report it through http://unicode.org/cldr/trac ? If so, maybe you can find it through one of the reports here http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/report?

[jsilland]

I originally had used another form which I had found after some amount of searching on the CLDR website. I have now reported this bug as http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/7800

I have a past working relationship with a couple of members of the Unicode consortium, I may try to reach out if this doesn't get traction in the near future.

Looks like this has been fixed in CLDR v26, which was released September 18th. I'm hoping we can update this along with #129.

[camertron]

This should be fixed now, can you verify, @jsilland?

Time.now.to_datetime.localize(:it).to_date.to_medium_s
=> "05 nov 2014"

Looks like this one is fixed. Thanks @camertron!
