The LC_TIME category defines the rules and symbols that are used to format date and time information.

Note: ISO 8601 allows different formats for dates, one form is YYYY-MM-DD, another is YYYYMMDD. Each clause in this specification specifies which specific format of ISO 8601 that is used there.

- Month names (mon) Define the full month names, to be referenced by the %B field descriptor. The operand consists of twelve or thirteen semicolon- separated strings. The first string is the full name of the first month of the year (January), the second the full name of the second month, and so on.	ஜனவரி பிப்ரவரி மார்ச் ஏப்ரல் மே ஜூன் ஜூலை ஆகஸ்ட் செப்டம்பர் அக்டோபர் நவம்பர் டிசம்பர் glibc-HEAD

- Weekday names (day) Define the full weekday names for calendar systems with weeks of constant length, to be referenced by the %A field descriptor. The length of the week and a Gregorian date for the first weekday is defined by the "week" keyword. The operand consists of semicolon- separated strings. The first string is the full name of the day corresponding to the first day of the week (default Sunday), the second the full name of the day corresponding to the second day of the week (default Monday), and so on.	ஞாயிறு திங்கள் செவ்வாய் புதன் வியாழன் வெள்ளி சனி glibc-HEAD
- Days abbreviated (abday) Define the abbreviated weekday names for calendar systems with weeks of constant length, to be referenced by the %a field descriptor. The length of the week and a Gregorian date for the first weekday is defined by the "week" keyword. The operand consists of semicolon- separated strings. The first string is the abbreviated name of the day corresponding to the first day of the week (default Sunday), the second the abbreviated name of the day corresponding to the second day of the week (default Monday), and so on.	ஞா தி செ பு வி வெ ச glibc-HEAD	Example: `Sun\nMon\nTue\nWed\nThu\nFri\nSat`
- Week definition (week) Is used to define the number of days in a week, and which weekday is the first weekday (the first weekday has the value 1), and which week is to be considered the first in a year. The first operand is an integer specifying the number of days in the week. The second operand is an integer specifying the Gregorian date in the format YYYYMMDD, and it specifies a day that is a first weekday (all other first weekdays may then be calculated by adding or subtracting a whole multiplum of the number of days in the week as specified with the first operand). The third operand is an integer specifying the weekday number to be contained in the first week of the year. The third operand may also be understood as the number of days required in a week for it to be considered the first week of the year. If the keyword is not specified the values are taken as 7, 19971130 (a Sunday), and 7 (Saturday), respectively. ISO 8601 conforming applications should use the values 7, 19971201 (a Monday), and 4 (Thursday), respectively.	7;19971130;1 glibc-HEAD
- First day of week (first_weekday) Define the first day to be displayed, for example in a calendar display utility. The operand is an integer specifying the day number (1 = first) according to the information specified with the "day" keyword. The keyword may be omitted, and then the value 1 is taken, corresponding to Sunday for a week beginning Sunday, or to Monday for a week beginning Monday.	2 glibc-HEAD

The operand consists of two strings, separated by a semicolon. The first string represents the antemeridiem designation, the last string the postmeridiem designation. The keyword is optional. If unspecified, the %p field descriptor refers to the empty string.	காலை மாலை glibc-HEAD	Example: `AM\nPM`
- 12-hour Time format (t_fmt_ampm) Define the appropriate time representation in the 12-hour clock format with "am_pm", to be referenced by the %r field descriptor. The operand consists of a string and can contain any combination of characters and field descriptors. If the string is empty, the 12-hour format is not supported in the FDCC-set.	glibc-HEAD	Example: `%I:%M:%S %p` Approx. output of current value:

The LC_NUMERIC category defines the rules and symbols that are used to format nonmonetary numeric information. The operands are strings. For some keywords, the strings only can contain integers. Keywords that are not provided, string values set to the empty string (""), or integer keywords set to -1, are used to indicate that the value is unspecified.

copy ta_IN

- Decimal point (decimal_point) The operand is a string containing the symbol that is used as the decimal delimiter in numeric, nonmonetary formatted quantities. This keyword cannot be omitted and cannot be set to the empty string. In contexts where other standards limit the decimal point to a single byte, the result of specifying a multibyte operand is unspecified.	. glibc-HEAD
- Thousands separator (thousands_sep) The operand is a string containing the symbol that is used as a separator for groups of digits to the left of the decimal delimiter in numeric, nonmonetary formatted monetary quantities. In contexts where other standards limit the "thousands_sep" to a single byte, the result of specifying a multibyte operand is unspecified.	, glibc-HEAD
- Digits grouping (grouping) Define the size of each group of digits in formatted non- monetary quantities. The operand is a sequence of integers separated by semicolons. Each integer specifies the number of digits in each group, with the initial integer defining the size of the group immediately preceding the decimal delimiter, and the following integers defining the preceding groups. If the last integer is not -1, then the size of the previous group (if any) is repeatedly used for the remainder of the digits. If the last integer is -1, then no further grouping is performed.	3;2 glibc-HEAD

"Bill". %m Additional given names. %M Initials for additional given names. %p Profession. %s Salutation, such as "Doctor" %S Abbreviated salutation, such as "Mr." or "Dr." %d Salutation, using the FDCC-sets conventions, with 1 for the name_gen, 2 for name_mr, 3 for name_mrs, 4 for name_miss, 5 for name_ms. %t If the preceding field descriptor resulted in an empty string, then the empty string, else a . Each field descriptor may have an after the <%> to specify that the information is taken from a Romanized version string of the entity. An initial is any string, normally consisting of one letter and a punctuation mark; the Dutch "IJ" is an example of a two character initial.	%p%t%f%t%g glibc-HEAD	Example: `%p%t%g%m%t%f`

The LC_ADDRESS category defines formats to be used in specifying a location like a person’s home or office, for use in a postal address or in a letter, and other items related to geography, including natural language.

NOTE: There are a number of variations for specifying a location among the cultures. Some of the information, like the middle names, or even the family name, is not used in some cultures. The specification here should be regarded as a starting point for this problem.	%z%c%T%s%b%e%r glibc-HEAD	Example: `%a%N%f%N%d%N%b%N%h %s %e %r%N%T, %S %z%N%c%N`
