okay so this is the page for DateTime::Locale::is_IS — section 3 of the User Contributed Perl Documentation, bestie — and it's literally all about the locale data examples for the Icelandic Iceland (is-IS) locale. 🇮🇸✨


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This pod file is basically a big show-and-tell: it's full of examples of the locale data that's available for the Icelandic Iceland locale. That's it, that's the vibe. 🫶

yMMMM (MMMM y)

⭐ and that's exactly where part 1 stops, bestie — yMMMM is sitting here with its format pattern and no example lines yet. part 2 has the rest of the goods, so don't go anywhere 💖

okay so the pattern from before keeps going and now it's just serving month-name-only realness, no day, no year energy, just vibes:

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = febrúar 2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = desember 1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = september -10

✨ yMMMd (d. MMM y)

short month names, literally the "don't overexplain it" of date formats 💅

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 5. feb. 2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22. des. 1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 15. sep. -10

🎀 yMd (d.M.y)

all numbers, all dots, zero crumbs, extremely clean, no notes 🔥

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 5.2.2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22.12.1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 15.9.-10

🦋 yQQQ (QQQ y)

quarter time!! short version, just F plus the number, slay 🫶

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = F1 2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = F4 1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = F3 -10

🌸 yQQQQ (QQQQ y)

and the long form, where the quarter says its whole government name: fjórðungur 👑

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 1. fjórðungur 2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 4. fjórðungur 1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 3. fjórðungur -10

💜 yw-count-one ('viku' w 'af' Y)

week-of-year with the singular category. note that the output is identical to the other one below — the plural rules split into two buckets but the strings are the same, no cap 😭

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

🧚 yw-count-other ('viku' w 'af' Y)

the other bucket. same 'viku' w 'af' Y wrapper, same three results, the pattern is literally matching its sibling 💀

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

🎀 Miscellaneous

  • Prefers 24 hour time? Yes — 24h girlies stay winning ⭐
  • Local first day of the week: 1 (mánudagur)

🕰️ Strftime Patterns

⭐ %c (%a %e.%b %Y, %T) - date time format

the whole shebang: weekday, day, month, year, comma, then the clock. iconic, full main character energy 👑

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = þri.  5.feb. 2008, 18:30:30
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = fös. 22.des. 1995, 09:05:02
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = lau. 15.sep. -10, 04:44:23
lowkey obsessed with the fact that the first line has two spaces after þri. while the others have one — that's not me being messy, that's the data fr fr, copy it exactly 🙈

🌈 %x (%a %e.%b %Y) - date format

same as %c but we drop the time like it's a toxic ex 💅

          2008-02-05T18:30:30 = þri.  5.feb. 2008
          1995-12-22T09:05:02 = fös. 22.des. 1995
         -0010-09-15T04:44:23 = lau. 15.sep. -10

💖 %X (%T) - time format

just the clock, %T coded, hours:minutes:seconds and nothing else. minimalist queen 🎀

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

👑 SUPPORT

See DateTime::Locale.

that's the whole support section bestie, it's one line and it ate, no filler, periodt 🫶


and that's the page!! this little Icelandic locale situation ships with perl v5.42.0, dated 2024-12-12, and yes the manpage header calls it DateTim...e::is_IS(3) — truncated name and all, we love a dramatic ellipsis 💀✨ go format some dates in Icelandic, you're gonna slay 💖
