| Description: | ||||
|
In library/msgs/he.msg the BCE and CE era names are swapped: BCE is set to לסה"נ ("of the Christian era") and CE to לפסה"נ ("before the Christian era"), so [clock format 0 -locale he -format %EE] gives לפסה"נ for 1970. CLDR uses לפנה״ס for BCE and לספירה for CE. | ||||

Proposed fix in branch clock-he-era-swap (based on clock-he-msg-quote for [3016135fff]), test clock-71.2. 8.6 needs a separate backport, because its he.msg uses \u escapes. jan.nijtmans added on 2026-10-17 06:47:39:
+1 Please go ahead serhiy.storchaka added on 2026-10-17 07:25:45:
Merged into main in [5b9ec1cb97] and into 9.0 in [4485ee263b], and backported to 8.6 in [479f1fa100]. | ||||
