--- Comment #3 from Bone Pyae Sone <bone.burma at gmail dot com> ---
Hi!

I attached the Shan locale file since 2012 and it seem still no effect to
include the Shan Language in any other open-source OS. I developed the locale
for the Shan Community around the world to use the system in their language so
that they can help to develop the education, development and living standards
of the Shan from the rural areas.

I urge whoever taking care of this to consider it for the sake of these people. 


With Best Regards,

Bone Pyae Sone.

shn_MM

>escape_char     /
>comment_char    %

please use the same header as other locale files.  see en_US in current git to
copy the top ~10 lines.

>category "shn_MM:2012";LC_IDENTIFICATION
>category "shn_MM:2012";LC_COLLATE
>category "shn_MM:2012";LC_CTYPE
>category "shn_MM:2012";LC_MESSAGES

>category "shn_MM:2012";LC_TELEPHONE
>category "shn_MM:2012";LC_ADDRESS
>category "shn_MM:2012";LC_NAME

these should all be changed.  look at en_US for the values to copy & paste.

>LC_NUMERIC
>% This is the POSIX Locale definition for the LC_NUMERIC category
>% generated by IBM Basic Country  Transformer.
>% These are generated based on XML base Locale defintion file

clear out all these old comments

>yesexpr     "<U005E><U005B><U0079><U0059><U101F><U005D><U002E><U002A>"

this should be changed to:
"^[+1yYဟ]"

>noexpr      "<U005E><U005B><U006E><U004E><U1019><U005D><U002E><U002A>"

this should be changed to:
"^[-0nNမ]"

>yesstr      "<U101F><U102F><U1010><U103A><U1010><U101A><U103A>"
>nostr       "<U1019><U101F><U102F><U1010><U103A><U1018><U1030><U1038>"

are these correct ?  it looks like you just copied the my_MM values.

>LC_MEASUREMENT
>measurement 1
>END LC_MEASUREMENT

copy my_MM instead

>LC_PAPER
>height 297
>width 210
>END LC_PAPER

copy my_MM instead

>LC_NAME

this looks like you just copied my_MM and didn't change anything

>LC_ADDRESS

please add:
  country_num 104
  country_car "MYA"

>country_post    "<U004D><U0079><U0061><U006E><U006D><U0061><U0072>"

pretty sure this should be "MM" instead

I advise that the string be kept. I cannot even read the info on the proposed change.

your suggestion makes no sense, or at least, you've provided no logic behind
it.  i see no reason to not make my suggested change.

I suggest that we keep the UCS codepoints.

First of all there are some special characters in there that may not
be easily displayed, nor understood. Having a specific UCS codepoing
makes it much clearer and avoids errors.

Furthermore having symbolic characters improves portability with other
character sets than UTF-8.

Best regards
Keld

(In reply to keld@keldix.com from comment #7)

i think you're interpreting my suggestion incorrectly.  i provided the string
in a readable format for the user.  the expectation is that the locale file
would be encoded.  this bug is not about the encoding format of the locale
files.
