Comment 25 for bug 237341

Looking back at this relatively old bug, I wonder whether the lack of agreement on categories (and hence the lack of progress) might be at least partly because the preferred categorisation varies from locale to locale. None of those who complain about the existing categories seem to be English-language users, and that can't be entirely a coincidence.

It would be perfectly possible in theory to define a structure whereby different locales can choose their own categorisation depending whether the mindset in their locale conceptualises a "week" as last-7-consecutive-days or as a calendar week.

I've no idea, though, whether the current i18n/l10n structures allow for a choice like this. Maybe this would need to be a (hidden?) preference, with corresponding UI strings to be translated for both paradigms.
