Maybe not related with the above mentioned topic...

It is a possible illustration of mentioned topic ! ;)

Gramps uses 'maa' as short name for 'maart', see month list on date selector. But to write 'maa' is parsed as textual date (red field).

'mrt' is the value provided by
month_to_int = GrampsLocale.month_to_int

Agreed, not a bug, just a way to handle this short month.
Date selector and date formats are able to display 'maa' but user cannot write 'maa'. Instead, short name set by OS/python is active ('mrt').

Making tests on available locales (locale -a), I noted this difference on Date_nl.py.

If you want to be able to parse 'maa' :

+ month_to_int[u"maa"]  = 3 

or if you want to use 'mrt' on short month list :

- short_months = ( u"", u"jan", u"feb", u"maa", u"apr", u"mei",  
+ short_months = ( u"", u"jan", u"feb", u"mrt", u"apr", u"mei",

  Wel, as a Dutch speaker I would never use maa for the month march. It means  mother :-)



In Gramps version 
GRAMPS: 3.2.0-1 Python: 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Dec  7 2009, 18:45:15... BSDDB: 4.7.3 LANG: nl_BE.UTF-8

I ,by sheer coincidence,  had a date in my Gramps DB I checked and was recorded as '11 maa 1614' . The background of the date input field was red.

I changed it in '11 mrt 1614'  and all was ok.

ps: my router went kaput -- I  cannot test svn branches and trunk at the moment --  hopefully back in business next friday
