[Bug localedata/367] New: Adding si_LK locale to glibc

[gnu dot slash dot linux at gmail dot com]

The Sinhala GNU/Linux project of Lanka Linux User Group
(http://sinhala.linux.lk) has created the si_LK locale (Sinhala Language, Sri
Lanka).

It was once reviewed by Petter Reinholdtsen, and we have incorporated the
changed suggested (and also a lot more improvements for the LC_TIME category).

http://cvs.linux.lk/cgi-bin/cvsweb/sinhala/locale/si_LK

Please add this locale to glibc.

I had a look at the new locale, and my simple script to check for
frequent errors found no problem with it.  The country part of the
locale name (LK) is for Sri Lanka, but the language code si is
according to ISO 639-2 "Sinhalese", not "Sinhala".  I assume this
is a mis-spelling in the proposed locale.  I suggest this mis-spelling
is fixed, and when this is done, the locale should be acceptable
into glibc.

BTW: I believe it is not really useful to just duplicate the
ISO_IEC TR14652 content for LC_PAPER, LC_NAME, LC_ADDRESS,
LC_TELEPHONE and LC_MEASUREMENT into the locale.  It might be more
useful to use the 'copy "i18n"' statement to make the reference
more obvious.  This is just an idea, and not a requirement on my
part for inclusion.

I'll forward it to the glibc maintainers when the new version is
available.

I checked with a key member of the standards group (for the second) about the
correct one, and according to him Sinhala is becoming the standard norm, and
they are working on getting it to the national (SLS) standard, which will
eventually reflect in the ISO.  Nothing is filalized yet, but as it stands now,
Sinhala seems to be a more futuristic option.

But if there is a policy of going with exact ISO names, then that's a different
story.

As for the LC_PAPER, and LC_TELEPHONE etc, we _have_ added the paper sizes and
the country code.

LC_NAME needs fixing.  Will add a corrected version.

LC_ADDRESS and LC_MEASUREMENT have not been changed.

Sets the language name as in ISO.

This changes the language name from Sinhala to Sinhalese.  Plese add it to
glibc.	Thanks in advance.

Fixes the language name (again!)

Hi Petter,

The SLSI standards committee met last Monday and discussed the use of "Sinhala"
vs "Sinhalese", and it was agreed that "Sinhala" is the correct use.  The
committee also will soon push ISO to change Sinhalese to Sinhala.  As Sri Lanka
is the the main country where Sinhala is used, so there is no reason for ISO
committee to object to this.

Here is the related post from Dr Gihan Dias of the committee:

http://www.lug.lk/lurker/message/20040929.045834.d73f10bb.html

Thanks.  IMHO, the locale is okay as it is now.  Please commit.  Thanks.

ISO 639 has been amemded, and now Sinhala can be "officially" used instead of
"Sinhalese".

The new locale looks good.  Two issues:

 - bug-glibc@gnu.org is no longer the contact address.  Use
   libc-locales@sources.redhat.com instead.

 - Why is the grouping for LC_MONETARY and LC_NUMERIC different?

The locale look good.  When it is added to glibc, it should also be added
to the SUPPORTED file.  To make it possible, the expected charset of the locale
must be known.  What charset should be used for si_LK?  Only UTF-8, or something
else?
