[qatrack] Add languages to QATrack
Last modified: 2017-05-20 09:19:20 UTC
The following 21 lanuages are built for Mac OS X are not in QATrack. Please add them to QATrack. I have used http://l10n.openoffice.org/languages.html for the languages. Where there is a lanugage entry there, I have put a corresponding language name here. If there is a language, but a discrepency with the country code part of the name, then there is a question mark before the name. as-IN be-BY (? Belarusian) bn-BD (Bengali (Bangladesh)) bn-IN (Bengali (India)) bs (? Bosnian) dz (Dzongkha) ml-IN (? Malayalam) nr (Ndebele, South) ns (NorthernSotho/Sepedi) or-IN (? Oriya) sh-YU (Serbian Latin) sr-CS (Serbian Cyrillic) ss (Swati) sw-TZ (? Swahili) sx te-IN tg (Tajik) ti-ER (? Tigrinya) ts (Tsonga) ur-IN ve (Venda)
Thanks for the list. Added: as-IN Assamese (India) dz Dzongkha nr Southern Ndebele sh-YU Serbo-Croatian sr-CS Serbian ss Swati tg Tajik te-IN Telugu (India) ti-ER Tigrinya (Eritrea) ts Tsonga ur-IN Urdu (India) ve Venda Already present, but were missing a country specifier (or vice versa): be-BY Belarusian (Belarus) bn-BD Bengali (Bangladesh) bn-IN Bengali (India) bs Bosnian ml-IN Malayalam (India) or-IN Oriya (India) sw-TZ Swahili (Tanzania) These now appear in both forms, but the one without the country specifier will be removed if unused. Rejected: ns is invalid for NorthernSotho/Sepedi, see issue 70181 sx is not a valid code, see link in issue above Setting dependency on issue 70181 for this.
It seems that the non-standard language code "sx" has been used by Microsoft for "Sutu", see http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/language_codes.asp dwayne: Is "Sutu" the same language as "Sotho (Southern)" as stated, for instance, on http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/lang/sso.htm ? If it is, a valid two-letter code exists for it but it is "st", not "sx". So the build file name would have to be adjusted for it to appear in QATrack.
pescetti: See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/nls_238z.asp Yes MS essentially messed up (they've done it a few times with our languages) that is why in the URL above they moved it to sx (which we all hope is not a real language) and marked it as not supported. Yes 'st' is the correct code. There is a long debate around us finding out if by Sutu MS meant Southern Sotho. We eventually determined that they did. There is a bug somewhere that shows the whole sorry saga.
This link will help you tie it together: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q221435/ Here Sesotho (which is Southern Sotho in the mother tongue which is 'st') is listed using the same LCID as the Sutu retired in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/nls_238z.asp So there intention was the same they just got the language name hopelessly wrong. Not sure now that they've retired this what they intend to do to properly support 'st'.
