            Bug ID: 113184
           Summary: Minguo calendar year identification support for zh_TW
                    locale
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.6.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: pswo10680 at gmail.com

LibreOffice supports Minguo year date formats such as GGGEE, GGEE, EE and E
Minguo year. However, it does not identify Minguo year directly from the inputs
of Taiwan people.

The ruling government in Taiwan is the Republic of China (ROC) which was
founded in 1912 in mainland China. 2017 is 民國106年 (Minguo year 106).
(2017-1912+1)

In general, people in Taiwan (zh_TW locale) use both systems in living. 
* 2 or 3 digits (such as 99 or 106) for Minguo year
* 4 digits (such as 2017) for common era year

The public servants in the government only use Minguo calendar. They input
“106/10/11” intuitively for 2017/10/11, but LibreOffice identifies as
“0106-10-11” by default.

Reproducible: always

Steps to reproduce:
1. Switch to zh_TW locale (Chinese (Traditional)).
2. Open Calc
3. Type 106/10/11 to present it is 2017/10/11

Actual result:
1. LibreOffice identifies the input as 0106-10-11

Expected result:
1. LibreOffice identifies the input as 2017-10-11 for zh_TW locale users.
