In r50778 the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minguo_calendar of Taiwan has been implemented. An excellent reuse of code could be had here by now also implementing the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juche#Calendar of North Korea, as it is the exactly the same as Taiwan's (year 98=2009). While you are at it, consider implementing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_era_name , as the article says "Japanese era names are still in use. Government offices usually require era names and years for official papers." So just as here in Taiwan, one can imagine many government etc. offices where they would be overjoyed to be able to use such dates. As I am very much not the right man for this job, I would like to leave this bug in the system to give others an opportunity to evaluate and/or implement it.
For Japan just implement the current http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisei_period .
Added on r50804.
OK, I see you say 平成 for Japanese, please also add the familiar names for Taiwan, see the note I made at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/50778#code-comments please. One can guess that you should also offer the two character prefix 주체(主體) for Korea, but maybe they only use one character... Speaking of which, perhaps also add a short 民98年... one character choice for Taiwan too.
Created attachment 6139 [details] Group international time notation systems together at top instead of split
Please apply attachment 6139 [details] to stop intermingling local and international time notations. They will then be international first, then local afterwards.
ISO has always come as last, why change that?
OK, I see. Then instead of putting all international before local, put all local before international. What ever you do, don't intermingle them.
The position of the ISO date is a seperate issue for that, please add the comments in the bug 18931 instead. The original purpose of this bug has been FIXED before.
Sorry my mistake, please add the comments to the bug 18932 instead.
