I am writing to propose some changes to the "Approved" Gregorian date and time formats in the English (Hong Kong SAR) [en-HK] locale:

1. Short Date Format

Currently, the approved short date format is "d/M/yy", which has 2-digit year format. However, 2-digit year format is not common in Hong Kong after Year 2000. We use 4-digit year instead. Therefore, I suggest that be changed to "d/M/y".

2. Comma between Year and English Month

Currently, the approved values of medium, long and full date formats have a comma between Year (Y) and the English month (MMM/MMMM). This is not common in Hong Kong. We simply use "d MMM y" or "d MMMM y". I suggest those values be changed too.

3. Flexible Date Formats and Intervals Date Formats

I suggest that the values in the flexible date formats and intervals date formats be modified to match with the changes in #1 and #2.

I have already added the values to the Survey Tool at http://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/v#/en_HK/Gregorian/22b38b49476d5bfd and hope that people in Hong Kong or familiar with the locale can help to vote for the changes.



Best to put requests like this into the forum in the Survey tool, rather than on this mailing list.​ You only want to do them here if you don't get responses on the forum.
