            Bug ID: 19010
           Summary: New locale for Indonesian English en_ID

Indonesian Engilsh locale file (en_ID)

The Indonesian Open Technology Foundation (Yatti) supports the development of
an English for Indonesia locale for Linux (en_ID).

While English is not widely spoken in Indonesia as a proportion of its total
population, it is still used widely in business and the professions and by the
urban middle class.

Probably 3-5% of Indonesia's 255 million people use English on a daily basis
(~, or three times the English-speaking population of Singapore.

The en_ID locale conforms to Indonesian standards relating to country codes,
currency, time and date formats. 

Combinatorial locales present unsatisfactory compromises and lead to
inconsistency across systems within the country, creating confusion.

There is no satisfactory combination of existing locales (eg, en_US language
with id_ID region) that accommodate English language and region settings. 

The en_ID locale is currently used in the Ubuntu Indonesia desktop distro.

Reference version of the en_ID locale file is located at
http://yatti.id/en_ID/en_ID
