Hi, I have originally forwarded this message to address@hidden
but, maybe you would be more apropriate people who would get this
(in fact) bug report. I see your file now uses unicode chars,
but it would be clear if I leave the forwarded message untouched.

Subject: Polish Language Locale for Poland
Hi,
I have found your e-mail in
ftp://dkuug.dk/i18n/WG15-collection/locales/pl_PL
This is referred as a standard for computer locale 'pl_PL'.
I think that there is a mistake in the LC_MONETARY section:
int_curr_symbol "<P><L><N><SP>"
currency_symbol "<Z><l//>"
mon_decimal_point "<,>"
mon_thousands_sep "<.>"
mon_grouping 3;3
positive_sign ""
negative_sign "<->"
int_frac_digits 2
frac_digits 2
p_cs_precedes 1
p_sep_by_space 0
n_cs_precedes 1
n_sep_by_space 0
p_sign_posn 1
n_sign_posn 1
ABOUT THE CURRENCY ORDER
------------------------
This causes Polish currency look like:
-Zl// 12.345,67
while it should:
-12.345,67 zl//
(where l// is Polish letter l with a dash)
1. no one uses local currency symbol before the value in Poland
2. I have not seen zl// written with big Z letter (since it is always
at the end of value)
Then according to table displayed at:
http://nscp.upenn.edu/aix4.3html/files/aixfiles/LC_MONETARY.htm
apropriate settings of the LC_MONETARY section should be:
currency_symbol "<z><l//>"
p_cs_precedes 0
p_sep_by_space 1
n_cs_precedes 0
n_sep_by_space 1
ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY
--------------------------------
I do not know what are the rules for international currency, since
the are different views showed in the web documents. I do not know
the right view, then maybe you can tell me if all the currencies
written in the international way should look like this:
-PLN 12.345,67
PLN 10
USD 1,111.22
EUR 12
-EUR 1
On the official Euro web page there are all the currencies written
after the value as e.g.: 1 EUR
(see e.g.
http://europa.eu.int/euro/html/dossiers/00232/html/index-EN.html
). Do they make mistakes?
If the currency is before the value, should not minus sign be before the
value? As: EUR -1 ?
ABOUT THE INT_ PREFIX
---------------------
Does p_cs_precedes determine international symbol currency order,
or just local currency order?
I think there should be also int_p_cs_precedes value, IF
the international currency order is not always 'before' the value.
