/locale is an object! that contains locale-specific names for the months of
the year ('month), and the days in each week ('days). The index of each name
is exactly the same as the number returned by the appropriate refinement on
date! values. For example:
>> now/date ; It's a Thursday.
== 27-Sep-2001
>> now/month
== 9
>> rebol/locale/months/9
== "September"
>> now/weekday
== 4
>> rebol/locale/days/4
== "Thursday"
Note that this points out a name problem with /locale -- the word 'days in
the /locale object should really be 'weekdays, so as to match with the
refinement /weekday for date! values. 'probe rebol/locale should return:
make object! [
months: [
"January" "February" "March" "April" "May" "June"
"July" "August" "September" "October" "November" "December"
]
weekdays: [
"Monday" "Tuesday" "Wednesday" "Thursday" "Friday" "Saturday"
Sunday
]
]
where 'days has been replaced with 'weekdays. I've reported this to
[feedback--rebol--com].
A suitable patch is:
rebol/locale: make object! [
months: rebol/locale/months
weekdays: rebol/locale/days
]
Just place the above in %User.r.
I hope that helps!
