🦋 DateTime::Locale::nds(3) — the Low German locale, explained by your favorite Unix bestie 💅

Okay so real talk — your terminal truncates the header to DateTim...ale::nds(3) (rude, honestly, who did that), but the page you just opened is DateTime::Locale::nds from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. It's the locale data example dump for the Low German (nds) locale, and it is lowkey a whole vibe. Grab a snack 🍓, we're going through every single line together.

✨ NAME ✨

  • DateTime::Locale::nds — locale data examples for the Low German (nds) locale 🌈

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

This pod file is literally just examples — examples of the locale data that's available for the Low German locale. No cap, that's the whole job. It shows you every string the locale hands back: days, months, quarters, eras, and then a ton of formatted date/time/datetime outputs so you can see exactly what each pattern produces. Periodt. 💖

🌸 Days

Seven days, and yes, she gives us six whole flavors of them. Sit down, this is the good part.

bestie I know the format and stand-alone lists are identical here — that's not a typo on my end, that's genuinely what the data says. She's consistent! 💀

🦋 Months

Twelve months, same six-flavor treatment. The abbreviation glow-up is real: they're the same as the wide ones. Iconic of them.

Heads up: eras only get the three format flavors here — no stand-alone era party, that's just how the data is. Don't come for me, I'm reporting faithfully. 🙈

This is the part where the locale flexes. Each bullet is a format key, then its pattern in parentheses, then the three example timestamps with what they produce. I kept every single one — all 40-something of them — because I would never do you dirty like that. 🫶

  • yMMMd (d. MMM y) — and this is exactly where this chunk of the page stops 👀
heads up bestie: yMMMd's example values plus everything after it live in the next part of the page — don't close the tab, we're not done 💜

...okay so this block was already mid-flow, so let's just let it land, no interruption 💅

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 5. Februaar 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 22. Dezember 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = 15. September -10

and here's the rest of the pattern lineup, in order, no skipping, we're finishing the whole list 🫶

yMd (d.M.y)

short, dotted, zero vibes of spaces — dots only, bestie:

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 (y QQQ)

year + quarter, serving quarter-energy:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 Q1
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 Q4
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 Q3

yQQQQ (y QQQQ)

same output as the one above, literally identical — different pattern name, same slay:

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = 2008 Q1
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = 1995 Q4
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = -10 Q3

yw-count-other ('week' w 'of' Y)

week number, spelled out all cute like "week 6 of 2008":

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

🌸 Miscellaneous 🌸

some little personality checks for this locale 🎀

Prefers 24 hour time?

Yes ✨ (24h girlie, no am/pm nonsense)

Local first day of the week

1 (Maandag) — that's the value, and that's the name it's spelled with, take it as given 🗓️

💫 Strftime Patterns 💫

these are the strftime-style ones, pattern on the left, actual output on the right, no cap:

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

2008-02-05T18:30:30 = Dingsdag Februaar  5 18:30:30 2008
1995-12-22T09:05:02 = Freedag Dezember 22 09:05:02 1995
-0010-09-15T04:44:23 = Sünnavend September 15 04:44:23 -10
ok and yes, there really are two spaces between Februaar and 5 in that first line — that's %e doing its space-padded thing, it's not a typo, do not "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

%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
