So for example even if there's no esperanto locale on your system, this setup seems to be perfectly valid and working for me: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=eo and then translations are primary taken from the "/eo" directory. LANGUAGE can even take more language codes separated by ':', e.g. LANGUAGE=eo:de to fall back to German for each string where esperanto translation is not available. This means that you can translate your application to Esperanto even if there's no such locale. What is still missing is the stuff coming from the locale database: month and weekday names, first day of week in calendar, localized date format, decimal separator and grouping character, yes/no regexp, collation etc... -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2135 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
