Subject: Preposition in IntlDateFormatter
From: markus.fasselt@gmail.com (Markus Fasselt)

Hello internals,

I just noticed an issue with PHP's DateFormatter and some locales.

Consider this example code:

> foreach (['en', 'de', 'da', 'pt', 'fr', 'cs'] as $locale) {
>     $df = new IntlDateFormatter($locale, IntlDateFormatter::LONG, IntlDateFormatter::SHORT);
>     var_dump($locale . ': ' . $df->format(new DateTime()));
> }

which will output the following:

> string(33) "en: November 19, 2017 at 10:28 PM"
> string(30) "de: 19. November 2017 um 22:28"
> string(31) "da: 19. november 2017 kl. 22.28"
> string(32) "pt: 19 de novembro de 2017 22:28"
> string(29) "fr: 19 novembre 2017 à 22:28"
> string(28) "cs: 19. listopadu 2017 22:28"

As you can see, the first examples all have a preposition before the 
time. But there is none for the Czech language - there should be a "v".

Some other languages are missing their prepositions as well, e.g. pl and 
se (and probably more).

Is this a bug? I am no native speaker in these languages, but got a bug 
report from a user and did some research. In my opinion, the 
prepositions are missing.

Thanks,

Markus
