What Intl version are you looking at? Looking at the current version (0.11.4) in tr.json I see    'MMM d' : 'd MMM' The CLDR data were updated to version 25 in version 0.10.0.

In the current version I do see MMMEd as you describe. That's what ICU is giving us for a Gregorian calendar in Turkish locale. See http://www.unicode.org/repos/cldr-aux/json/25/main/tr/ca-gregorian.json

We simplify the calendar data by bringing it down to one per locale. There are 18 different calendars listed for 'tr' locale at http://www.unicode.org/repos/cldr-aux/json/25/main/tr/ and we don't want to include the data for all of them.

I suspect you're expecting data more like what's in the generic or islamic-civil calendar files there, where it does use only MMM. It seems odd that Gregorian would use MMMM. It may be a bug in CLDR, and I've asked our internationalization people about that.

Hi, thanks for the responses. Looks like my version is old. I'll update. Yeah It's weird that they use MMMM when i ask for MMM for tr where other languages use the correct thing.

Any way MMMd is what I needed. Thanks again.

Chanh,
