           Summary: Please add the new language_ary locale
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
        AssignedTo: libc-locales@sources.redhat.com

Created attachment 5047
  --> http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=5047
Moroccan arabic local for Morocco, latin scripting.

Description:
Dear maintainers,

Please find attached the locale definition for ary_MA@latin to be
considered for inclusion in glibc. This locale is for Moroccan Arabic (ary_Ma)
which is the arabic variant spoken in morocco
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moroccan_Arabic). It is different from ar_MA,
which deals with classical arabic locale for Morocco.

Thanks a lot!

Dear maintainers,

It's been more than a mouth and we still got no answer. Please consider our
demand, we need this local to be accepted in order to continue with our ubuntu
translation.

Thanks and Best,
Tariq

Accepting patches like this can take very long time, unfortunately. I recommend
you do not wait for upstream acceptance and proceed with your other
translations.

What is the @latin for?  If this is the only locale with this name it is not
needed to use @latin.

Hello,

I'm sorry for the late answer, i taught I'd receive an email when a comment
would be posted. Although the language is recognized as being the mother tongue
of a majority of Moroccans
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=ary, there's as of today no
standardization about how it should be written. Both Latin and Arabic scripts
being widespread throughout morocco we've designed a writing standard that can
be used either with Latin or Arabic characters, thus the @latin.
I know it can seem awkward but the only way I've found to give the user the
choice between the Arabic and the Latin script was to create two different
locals.

I haven't finished working on the Arabic local yet, as I'm primarily using the
Latin script, but the text is exactly the same it's only a mater of character
transposition.

Best,

Tariq

Perhaps create ary_MA from ar_MA first, then make ary_MA@latin.

(In reply to Mike Frysinger from comment #8)
> we probably want to use @Latn instead per bug 4176

Yes, maybe, but if we want to do such a switch, we should do it consistently
for all  locales in glibc of course.

So maybe if we add the Moroccan Arabic now, we could still add it as ary_MA and
ary_MA@latin to be consistent with the current state in glibc.

Or would it be OK to switch gradually to @Latn and not switch all locales at
once?
