15 A question about LINGUAS settings, or the documentation thereof. The
16 URL you pointed to says "LINGUAS should then contain a space separated
17 list of two-letter codes, stating which languages are allowed.". But
18 "emerge -pv firefox" (and others) contains a list of 2 and 5 character
19 codes, e.g. "en" and "-en_GB -en_ZA". How is that handled?
