🎀 DateTime::Locale::cs(3) 🎀

okay so first things first: this page is officially filed under User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's the manual for DateTime::Locale::cs — the Czech locale data. bestie, this is a data page, not a "run this command" page. it's literally the receipts of how Czech dates and times get formatted. and we're doing it in two parts because there is so much. buckle up. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

DateTime::Locale::cs — locale data examples for the Czech (cs) locale. that's it, that's the whole name, no notes. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this pod file contains examples of the locale data available for the Czech locale. it's giving "here's exactly what every format looks like, no guessing." we love a reference page that just shows you. 💅

and yes — everything below is the actual data, so if you're looking for how Czech handles your weekday names or your n. l. vs př. n. l., it's all here. iykyk.

okay this is the big one. each little block below is a named format — the little code in the heading is the pattern that goes with it, and the three lines are what that pattern spits out for our three test timestamps. slay.

Bh (h B)

the B is that day-period thing, so you get B instead of am/pm:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 6 B

1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22. 12. 1995 n.l.

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = út 5. 2. 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = pá 22. 12. 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = so 15. 9. -10

weekday + day + month + year, all dotted up ✨ she's giving calendar app but make it Czech

`yMMM` (LLLL y)

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = únor 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = prosinec 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = září -10

standalone month name (that's what the LLLL pattern means, iykyk) plus the year. únor ate, no crumbs 😭

`yMMMEd` (E d. M. y)

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = út 5. 2. 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = pá 22. 12. 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = so 15. 9. -10

okay so it produces the exact same output as yMEd — the pattern string is E d. M. y both times, that's literally just how this locale do 💀 not a typo bestie, that's the data

`yMMMM` (LLLL y)

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = únor 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = prosinec 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = září -10

1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22. prosince 1995

-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 15. 9. -10

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Q1 2008

the full word for quarter, spelled out. čtvrtletí is a lot of letters and she's proud of every one 👑

okay this next lil cluster is the week-of-year fam — yw-count-few, yw-count-many, yw-count-one and yw-count-other. These are the plural-form variants (that's what count means here, one set per plural category), and bestie… all four produce the identical output. Not a glitch, that's just this locale's data. 💀

`yw-count-few` (w. 'týden' 'roku' Y)

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 6. týden roku 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 51. týden roku 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 37. týden roku -10

`yw-count-many` (w. 'týden' 'roku' Y)

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 6. týden roku 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 51. týden roku 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 37. týden roku -10

`yw-count-one` (w. 'týden' 'roku' Y)

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 6. týden roku 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 51. týden roku 1995

-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 37. týden roku -10

🌈 Miscellaneous

a couple random locale settings, no biggie:

Prefers 24 hour time? — Yes
Local first day of the week — 1 (pondělí)

so Monday is the main character of the week around here, and the clock is on 24h time. iconic of her honestly 🕐

✨ Strftime Patterns

and now the classic strftime trio, the OGs, the ones your C code has been calling since forever 💜

`%c` (`%a %b %e %H:%M:%S %Y`) — date time format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = út úno  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = pá pro 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = so zář 15 04:44:23 -10

bestie note the double space in út úno 5 — that's %e, which space-pads single-digit days. it's literally in the output, don't "fix" it 😭

`%x` (`%m/%d/%y`) — date format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 02/05/08
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 12/22/95
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 09/15/10

yes the pattern is %m/%d/%y so it's month/day/year, even though literally everything else on this page is day-first. the wildcard of the group 🙈

`%X` (`%H:%M:%S`) — time format

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 18:30:30
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 09:05:02
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 04:44:23

24-hour time, zero-padded, no notes. she's clean, she's simple, she's 18:30:30 ⭐
