--- Comment #21 from Frédéric Demians <frederic at tamil.fr> ---
It works as described. I have few questions/remarks:

PATCH DESCRIPTION:

These names are localized by using POSIX::setlocale and POSIX::strftime
and setting a 'locale' value to the subscription. Locale have to be
installed on the system.

QUESTION:

It doesn't work for me. I've tried entering 'fr' or 'fr-FR'. Could you
elaborate on this point? Wouldn't it be possible to display a list of
available languages?

PATCH DESCRIPTION:

Important note: updatedatabase.pl script takes into account existing
subscriptions and create a numbering pattern for each one. Frequency is
mapped to the correct entry in subscription_frequencies table

QUESTION:

So it means that for a library having, let say, 500 subscriptions,
500 numbering patterns will be created. Is there a way to avoid
such inflation of numbering patterns? Since a some subscriptions share
the same numbering pattern, it would be nice to link them to a unique
numbering pattern.

Side note: There is no way to delete Numbering patterns.

REMARKS:

[1] If I click on Modify pattern, and then Save a new patter, without
filling Pattern name field, and 'empty' pattern is saved. It appears in
Numbering pattern list box. And all pattern field contain 'undefined'.

[2] 'Numbering' field in the prediction pattern is quiet cryptic. There
is no indication that you can enter a text defining how the variable
will be formatted. And why 'Numbering', and not 'Formating', or
'Displayed as'?
