Very interesting. GMail uses Monday, but I'd have changed that a decade or so ago had it been otherwise. I checked on kde calendar (something I've never run before) and it's using my en_AU locale - and it's picked Monday. But http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/locexp?d_=en&_=en_AU http://demo.icu-project.org/icu-bin/locexp?d_=en&_=en_AU suggests the CLDR identifies AU as 'Sunday as first day of week', which is highly alarming. Do you know if MacOS uses CLDR, or would it be picking up Apple's assumption about AU locale preferences? (Do you have colour or color settings in your control panel?)
- justinclift 8y agoWasn't sure what CLDR is ;), though a quick search online turned up a relevant sounding Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Locale_Data_Repository https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Locale_Data_Repository In that, it mentions macOS does use it. The macOS "System Preferences" (system wide control panel) does have a colour settings area. No mention of CLDR, it's more about the locally connected displays and their display gamut (eg Adobe RGB, sRGB, etc).
- Jedd 8y agoTo be clear, I was wondering if the regional preferences for AU meant their colour settings spelled colour with an ou not just two o's. I think we can probably chalk this up to my insulated childhood, and a subsequent cultivated intolerance to Sunday-first calendars.
- justinclift 8y agoAhhh. The System Preferences spelling of colour is ... "Color". Looks like it's hard coded, not picking up the correct spelling for Oz. :/ And yeah, no worries. :)
