SBA: This is not a P1 issue. Set Prio to P3. Please read http://qa.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddIssues_EnterModify.html#priority Please do not use this issue tracker as a forum for political statements and speculation. It is dedicated to serve as a tool for communication of technical aspects of developing OpenOffice.org. I therefore reduce the summary to a meaningful technical summarization of your findings. Change component to L10N. Issues in office code or locale data are issues that do occur in software as issues (defects) in software do occur. There is no bug-free software of this size on this planet and there will never be. Thank you for your comprehension. SBA->ER: Please proceed, thank you. Reassigned to ER. Please note that the currency list box is accumulated from available locale data, the wording "Chinese (Singapore)" originates from the locale data for zh-SG. This in itself is correct, meaning locale data for the language Chinese in the region of Singapore, and cannot be changed. Changing implementation of the currency list box is beyond the scope of this issue. However, we can add another locale "Malay (Singapore)", which of the many Malay languages would that be? See http://sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp?order=reference_name&letter=m so we can use the correct ISO 639-3 code. To be able to fully support it as a locale, including number formats and calendar data, and having it selectable as default document language we would need a locale data file. Locale data files can quite easily be generated with the generator available at http://www.it46.se/localegen/ For technical details and semantics of elements please see the generator's documentation and the comments in the locale data DTD file http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/trunk/i18npool/source/localedata/data/locale.dtd and as a sample locale data file for example the en_US locale http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/trunk/i18npool/source/localedata/data/en_US.xml If you want to create and contribute a locale data file for this locale, you can do so using the generator, and then tell here in this issue that it is available. I would then contact Alberto, whom you granted the right to contribute your data, see http://www.it46.se/localegen/copyright.php Thanks Eike Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org". |
