I think, for languages that are not connected to a country, or where for political reasons the language's country is not recognized internationally, it would be very helpful to have traditional locale names of the format "ll" or "lll" instead of requiring the "ll_CC" form. The country-specific parts of the locale like currency, which would not make sense in such a context, could simply be aligned with the C locale. If said languages are also heavily used in one or more particular country contexts, it would be nice to also add "ll_CC" format locales for them with the appropriate country-specific parts. But I think it's really annoying to force users who want to use the language to choose from a limited set of countries that do not correspond to the country they're in. -- Configure bugmail: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
