Dear all, |
2 |
|
3 |
OpenOffice recently introduced language support for Valencian RACV |
4 |
grammar, using the nonstandard ca_XR language tag. This is presumably |
5 |
different from the AVL grammar (OpenOffice uses ca_XV) which also exists |
6 |
and already has two global LINGUAS: "ca_XV" that was at some point used |
7 |
by LibreOffice, but is now unused and replaced by the local flag |
8 |
"ca_valencia", and "ca@valencia" used by Calligra and others. |
9 |
|
10 |
If I understand correctly, POSIX locales use |
11 |
language[_territory][@modifier] format, and the X in the "territory" is |
12 |
used to denote a non-standard extension. I am however unsure whether |
13 |
ca_XR is a correct use of "territory". |
14 |
|
15 |
Debian for example uses ca-ES@valencia for Valencian AVL, which appears |
16 |
to be based on the IETF BCP-47 (basically language[-region][-variant]) |
17 |
language tag ca-ES-valencia. |
18 |
|
19 |
Is it ok to add a ca_XR or ca@valencia-racv USE_EXPAND to LINGUAS or is |
20 |
there a better solution? Should LINGUAS try to imitate POSIX or BCP-47? |
21 |

Best regards, |
