           Summary: Localised place holder for SHORTWEEKDAY (dt.
                    "WOCHENTAGKURZ") parses to full day WEEKDAY
                    ("WOCHENTAG") with suffix "KURZ"
           Product: i18n
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: de
        AssignedTo: kde-i18n-de at kde.org
        ReportedBy: torbjoern.k at googlemail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

The place holder for the short version of the day of the week (SHORTWEEKDAY)
does not work for the German translation.

The German translation says to use "WOCHENTAGKURZ" for "SHORTWEEKDAY" and
"WOCHENTAG" for "WEEKDAY". The latter works, the first doesn't.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to German localised KDE
2. Go to System Settings (dt. "Systemeinstellungen") -> Region & Language (dt.
"Region") -> Date & Time (dt. "Datum & Zeit")
3. add "WOCHENTAGKURZ" somewhere (possible useful)

Actual Results:  
The day of the week is displayed in the long version and "KURZ" is directly
appended:

"WOCHENTAGKURZ, DD.MM.YY" -> "DonnerstagKURZ, 10.11.11"

Expected Results:  
The short version of the day of week should be displayed:

"WOCHENTAGKURZ, DD.MM.YY" -> "Do, 10.11.11"

I assume the problem is, that the place holder for the short day starts with
the place holder for the full day and thus the parser stops after detecting the
place holder for the full day.

As a quick fix I suggest altering the place holder for the short day into
something, which starts differently to the other place holders.

A fix for the long run would be to change the parser to detect the longest
place holder possible and not stopping after the first match.
