Thanks, Arne!

One more question about "mon" in LC_TIME.

in locale nan_TW@Latn:
-------------------
cal -3 [Enter]

   káu-goe̍h 2008 cha̍p-goe̍h 2008 cha̍p-it-goe̍h 2008
lp p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 lp p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 lp p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6
    1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2 3 4 1
 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

                                            30

comparing to locale ja_JP.utf8:
--------------------
cal -3 [Enter]

In Japanese locale, "mon" uses digits (e.g. 11) rather than written in kana (じゅういち). That seems more concise.

In locale nan_TW@Latn, would

mon="1goe̍h;2goe̍h;3goe̍h;4goe̍h;5goe̍h;6goe̍h;7goe̍h;8goe̍h;9goe̍h;10goe̍h;11goe̍h;12goe̍h"

be more appropriate than

mon="chiaⁿ-goe̍h;jī-goe̍h;saⁿ-goe̍h;sì-goe̍h;gō͘-goe̍h;la̍k-goe̍h;chhit-goe̍h;peh-goe̍h;káu-goe̍h;cha̍p-goe̍h;cha̍p-it-goe̍h;cha̍p-jī-goe̍h"

?

This problem needs Kaihsu's confirm. (And Arne's technical review?) Thanks!
