Considering http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/search?q=SFr&project=core&defs=&refs=&path=&hist= Eike: could we just replace occurences of SFr by CHF or must we consider compatibility or other things? I think replacing is already the whole solution. I submitted a patch to review here: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/32905/ See my comment there ... DMS: just for the record, I abandonned the patch since it was wrong. @Julien: will you follow up on that or should I take over? (In reply to Eike Rathke from comment #6) > @Julien: will you follow up on that or should I take over? I won't follow up. @DMS: are you sure about this change to "CHF"? Any references? This is a bit odd. "SFr." indeed is outdated, but the common use seems to be "Fr." instead of "CHF", at least in common business if not banks. Even the coins show "1 Fr." See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_franc that states "The ISO code of the currency used by banks and financial institutions is CHF, although "Fr." is used by most businesses and advertisers". For currency symbol it lists "CHF, Fr., SFr. (old)" The German page https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweizer_Franken mentions "Währungszeichen Fr." and for currency symbol (Abkürzung) lists "Fr., SFr., CHF" So, should we have "CHF" or "Fr." in locale data? I just went through the waste next to my desk and with a big surprise I found really one single receipt (under many others) that still said Fr. All others use CHF. And where ever you check prices in the internet or whatever machine-writen bill, bank or insurance document you look at it is always CHF.
