Most of them don't have any variants and always will be just one language. 2 character codes are used for years, and it has never been problematic in any way. > IMHO xx-YY for all languages is clear. > xx[-YY] is less clear. > But changing de facto standard (xx[_YY]) to something not used in any place except publican does not give you any benefits. It makes things even worse, because whole FLOSS world use 2 character codes (with exceptions like zh_CN or bn_IN, where it's really necessary), including glibc language tables! > What happens if you have a xx language and later on someone adds a xx-YY > variant? I recently heard this happened to one project when es-MX was added and > es already existed. > Is this really a problem? In which way? > My point being that xx[-YY] is more prone to confusion than always having > xx-YY. > >From l10n view, it's just complicating things that always have been simple. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. -- Fedora-relnotes-content mailing list Fedora-relnotes-content@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-relnotes-content
