[COMMITTED,1/2] tt_RU: Fix orthographic mistakes in mon and abmon sections [BZ #24369]

  Guys, what do you think about backporting this patch to some stable
branches?  2.29?  2.28?  Other?  The fix seems important to me because
according to my knowledge the old month names were not Tatar at all
but Russian and in genitive case (a concept totally unknown in Tatar).

Carlos?  Mike?

Here is a decoded version of the patch:

I'm not sure if changing the width of the abbreviated month names in a
stable release is totally risk-free.  I'm not sure if we have a way to
poll users of the locale, to dtermine potential impact.

Thanks,
Florian

Would it be helpful if we additionally truncated all abbreviated month
names to 3 letters, as they had been before?

Mansur on CC.  However, judging from little number of translations
available I guess there are few people actually using Tatar version of
their Linux.

Hi, again!

Yes, Rafal, quite a few people use Tatar locale. I don't think that
backporting is worth of much work in this case. The main thing is we
fixed it in current version, so if anybody really needs it, I am sure,
they will find a way to upgrade their systems...

Best,
Mansur

OK, so I understand that since the Tatar user base is low there is
no need to backport this change to the older versions.

I don't think it is easy today.  It will be easier since August when
the new version of glibc is released.  But OTOH it may take some time
until people realize that they can use Tatar locale now because we have
fixed the issues on glibc side.
