My point of reference is that, while = it may or may not be appropriate to compare the feature set of Linux to other = OSs, in both macOS and Windows 10 you are able to set your locale/language to La= tin (lingua latina). In both cases, the setting applies only to the locale used= for applications, and Latin is not provided as a display language (what I would call a second-class locale). But this enables applications to support Latin= as a language option. Technically you can also do this in Linux without explicit glibc support, a= nd I did, but the fact that there is no actual locale file crashes some programs, Dropbox being one. This fact that apps can actually crash is the reason I f= iled a bug. I'm not deeply familiar with how locales work in Linux, but my thought was = that having an la_VA locale would enable applications to support the language for spell-checking, which I think would be a very good use-case for the locale, considering that many many people still work with Latin, even though there = are no native speakers. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
