             Bug #: 15260
           Summary: various errors in the yesstr/nostr/yesexpr/noexpr
                    LC_MESSAGES
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.16
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: daxim@cpan.org
                CC: libc-locales@sourceware.org
    Classification: Unclassified

Perl tool for dumping LC_MESSAGES from the system glibc-locale installation

1. In the locales brx_IN, hne_IN, kok_IN, ml_IN, ta_IN, ta_LK and uk_UA, the
yesstr/nostr LC_MESSAGES match against the whole answer word, or all letters of
the answer word, but should only include the initial.

2. In the ht_HT locale, the yesstr/nostr LC_MESSAGES do not include capital
letters, but should include capital letters.

3. In the km_KH locale, the yesstr/nostr LC_MESSAGES are in English, but should
be in Khmer.

4. In the mr_IN locale, the yesexpr/noexpr LC_MESSAGES match full English
words, but should be initials in Marathi.

5. In the ms_MY locale, the noexpr LC_MESSAGES does not include the customary
[nN] from English, even though there is no apparent conflict. According to
<http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82#c3>, this makes it "hard to
use the locale when translations are missing". A comment in the source file
says "% ^[nN]  --> ^[tT]", but that's not really illuminating. A Malay speaker
needs to verify this.

6. In the mt_MT locale, the yesexpr/noexpr LC_MESSAGES match full English
words, but should be initials in Malti.

7. In the nan_TW@latin locale, the yesexpr/noexpr LC_MESSAGES do not include
the customary [yY]/[nN] from English, even though there is no conflict.
According to <http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=82#c3>, this makes
it "hard to use the locale when translations are missing".

8. The os_RU yesexpr/noexpr LC_MESSAGES look broken. It doesn't make sense that
yesexpr includes capital У and noexpr includes small у. They also include
initials in Russian, but should be in Ossetic.

9. In the tg_TJ locale, the yesstr/nostr LC_MESSAGES are in Russian, but should
be in Tajik.

10. In the tl_PH locale, the yesstr/nostr LC_MESSAGES are in English, should be
in Tagalog.

11. In the tt_RU locale, the yesexpr/noexpr LC_MESSAGES include initials in
Russian, but should be in Tatar.

12. In the ug_CN locale, the yesstr/nostr LC_MESSAGES are in English, but
should be in Uyghur. The yesexpr/noexpr need to be then changed, too.

13. In the zh_SG locale, the yesstr/nostr LC_MESSAGES are in English, should be
in Chinese.

--- Comment #1 from Mike Frysinger <vapier at gentoo dot org> ---
pretty much all of the yesstr/nostr issues should be fixed in git now.  all of
the yesexpr/noexpr issues related to missing yY and nN were handled via bug
15262.

that just leaves the few cases of yesexpr/noexpr misbehavior outlined in:
(1) (4) (6) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13)

In case of uk_UA, there is a special reason for this, see the comments
in the locale source:


LC_MESSAGES
% WARNING: symbols "Y" and "Cyrillic_N" are placed at one key in Ukrainian
keyboard
% layout although the meaning is semantically opposite ("Y" stands for "Yes"
% while "Cyrillic_N" stands for "No").
%
% This problem may be dealt with by requiring at least two letters to be
% entered in Ukrainian language.

    tt_RU locale: make yesstr and nostr agree with CLDR by starting with lower
case letters

        * localedata/locales/tt_RU (LC_MESSAGES): Start yesstr and nostr
        with lowercase letters to make it agree with CLDR.

    Fix all remaining issues of [BZ #15260]

        [BZ #15260]
        * localedata/locales/doi_IN (LC_MESSAGES): Match only for the
        first letters of yesstr and nostr in yesexpr and noexpr,
        not for the full words.
        * localedata/locales/hne_IN (LC_MESSAGES): Likewise.
        * localedata/locales/kok_IN (LC_MESSAGES): Likewise.
        * localedata/locales/mr_IN (LC_MESSAGES): Likewise.
        * localedata/locales/sat_IN (LC_MESSAGES): Likewise.
        * localedata/locales/km_KH (LC_MESSAGES): Match also for the
        first letters of yesstr and nostr in yesexpr and noexpr,
        until now only English was matched in yesexpr and noexpr.
        * localedata/locales/tl_PH (LC_MESSAGES): Use “copy "fil_PH"”
        instead of “copy "en_US"”. CLDR has yesstr and nostr data for
        fil but not for tl. As tl and fil are very similar, using fil
        is probably better than using English.
