That's true, the change is visible only in languages where the locale data have actually changed. That's the reason why I'm asking the language communities for their opinion before we apply the change. So far only Polish language has been updated and there is some interest from Belarisuan and Russian communities but no final approval yet. > Some Romance languages will > eventually use this to correct the incorrect spelling of “de April” into > “d'April”.

So far I have identified three languages where the change will look like this: Asturian, Catalan, and Walloon. > (Yes, the meaning of %B changed in a backwards-incompatible way, and > glibc upstream deliberately implemented it this way.) That's true. But another argument is that it has never been specified whether %B is standalone or in-full-date-context. Probably because there was no such need in Germanic languages. It seems that translators have always treated this as a standalone version, probably except the Lithuanian community.
