English should add comma between date and time

Description

Deleted Component: other

Add comma between dates and times in English - i.e. change the datetime format from "{1} {0}" to "{1}, {0}".

1. Use of a comma and/or the word "at" seems to be the normal format-style convention for combining dates and times in English when the date precedes the time. Examples:

Note: More specifically, I think the comma (or "at") is only needed if the adjacent parts of the date and time are both numeric. If the "date" is just a weekday name as in "Mon 1:50 PM" then I don't think the comma is needed. This could be addressed (in addition to the change proposed above) by adding availableFormats items for Ehm, EHm, etc.

OK:

  • Changed <dateTimeFormat> patterns to "{1} at {0}" for full and long, "{1}, {0}" for medium and short

  • Added availableFormats items for Ehm, EHm, Ehms, EHms that do not use comma (e.g. "E h:mm a").

Changed to dvet, because translators are following the English.

From TC meeting 2012--5-23:

  • Probably want "{1} at {0}" for full and long, "{1}, {0}" for medium and short

  • Consider the availableFormat addition

  • Send e-mail to cldr-dev with this proposal to publicize that we are considering it for CLDR 23
