ls - locale format

[Stéphane Raimbault]

Hi,

I don't understand this code in ls.c:

char const *locale_format = dcgettext (NULL, long_time_format[i], LC_TIME);

if (locale_format == long_time_format[i])
        goto case_long_iso_time_style;

so if the translation is identical to the English message, the code jumps to
long ISO time style, really strange!

Does it mean it's impossible for English people to see the result of "%b %e
%Y"?

Stephane

PS :
static char const *long_time_format[2] =
  {
    N_("%b %e  %Y"),
    N_("%b %e %H:%M")
  };
