Error description

  • The suffix 'ta' is included in the pattern string.  When you
    call
         GlobalizationPreferences#getDateFormat with the parameter
    for
         pattern DFF_YM, it should return an instance of DateFormat
    with MMMM-YYYY,
         but it actually returns MMMM'ta'-YYYY for the Finish
    locale,
         e.g. "Tammikuu 2007" is displayed as "Tammikuuta 2007".
         The suffix is also appended when using the date pattern
    DD-MM-YY,
         e.g. "1.Tammikuu 2007" is displayed"1.Tammikuuta 2007".
    
        The names of the month in Finnish (MMMM-YYYY), January to
    December,
        for this problem are displayed as:
              Tammikuuta 2007
              Helmikuuta 2007
              Maaliskuuta 2007
              Huhtikuuta 2007
              Toukokuuta 2007
              Kesトkuuta 2007
              Heinトkuuta 2007
              Elokuuta 2007
              Syyskuuta 2007
              Lokakuuta 2007
              Marraskuuta 2007
              Joulukuuta 2007
    
         After the fix is applied the names of the month in Finnish
    (MM-YY),
         from January to December, are displayed as:
              Tammikuu 2007
              Helmikuu 2007
              Maaliskuu 2007
              Huhtikuu 2007
              Toukokuu 2007
              Kesトkuu 2007
              Heinトkuu 2007
              Elokuu 2007
              Syyskuu 2007
              Lokakuu 2007
              Marraskuu 2007
              Joulukuu 2007
    

Local fix

  • n/a
    

Problem summary

  • The file com.ibm.icux.impl.DateFormatPatternRepository is
    in the ICUX library and
         contains local data to handle special case for date
    formatting. Two more entries
         were added to handle the date formatting for the Finnish
    locale. Those two entries
         were {"fi/0/2/0", "MMMM yyyy"} and {"fi/0/2/1", "MMMM
    yyyy"},
    

Problem conclusion
