Bug ID: 376490
Summary: KDE5 does not allow configuration of units of measure,
time, or date format separate from the single value
allowed by locale
Product: kdelibs
Version: unspecified
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: klocale
Assignee: caslav.i...@gmx.net
Reporter: kevin.coo...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Users in a given locale have different requirements for date-time format and
use of units. In the United States, in spite of many (if not a majority)
clinging to the Imperial units of measure, many communities (e.g. military,
medicine, science, transportation, weather) routinely use ISO date-time and/or
metric units of measure. Different communities have different
per-measurement-type preferences (e.g. in medicine we use mm and cm quite a
bit, km not so much) even within the broad scope of the metric system.
This is a solved problem, with well described options. For example, while
units of measurement were limited to what the OS actually used (quite
reasonable), KDE4 let me configure use of ISO date-time values system wide.
KDE5 apparently ignored this rather significant user requirement.
