Right. Actually, the news item [1] has a brief explanation (even with |
| 17 |
pt-BR as example): |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
| Note that while the common two letter language codes (like "de" or |
| 20 |
| "fr") are identical, more complex entries have a different syntax |
| 21 |
| because L10N now uses IETF language tags. (For example, "pt_BR" |
| 22 |
| becomes "pt-BR" and "sr@latin" becomes "sr-Latn".) You can look up |
| 23 |
| the available codes in profiles/desc/l10n.desc in the gentoo tree. |
| 24 |
| A detailed description of language tags (aka BCP 47) can be found |
