There is no concept of date/time separator in glibc locales. Moreover, if you write a date/time following a glibc language locale ABC, you will be often surprised by people speaking the ABC language tellign you that they do not write date/time that way. First example: French. Second recent example: Norwegian. Maybe this is the reason why KDE does not use glibc locales, but its own system. As for Gambas, I don't think you can automate date/format testing. You have to: - Install every language support package possible! - Find one person for each language that will check if the date/time printed by Gambas has a sense for it. So it will be as until now: I will wait for bug reports...
