Arabic (Morocoo) locale file

Hi Dwayne,

What's wrong with that tool? Again all format codes above #17 are missing. I
also get:

Error: DateSeparator equals TimeSeparator.
Warning: DecimalSeparator is different from Time100SecSeparator, this may be
correct or not.
Warning: Don't forget to adapt FormatCode elements when changing separators.

Additionally, negative currency amounts are enclosed in parentheses, this is
usually not the case except in countries "influenced" by the USA ...

Hi Eike,

Not sure what's wrong with the tool.  But Sango was also done on LocaleGen and
it came out OK :(

I'll follow up on the data and time issues.

Re the negative, Morrocco would be influenced by French rather then USA currency
handling.  But I'll ask that also :)

Arabic (Morocoo) locale file for missing number formats

Hi Eike & other contributors,

In the last update I used indenting and also corrected <UnicodeScript> to 11 as
in ar_EG.

Some issues I noted:
* IndexKey - ar_EG seems to have a much more elaborate one perhaps we should
inherit that
* Dates - ar_EG includes more then just the gregorian
* LC_OutLineNumberingLevel - ar_EG has quite an elaborate system

This needs review/decision to see if we should rather use those.

oops.. when test compiling I got the following errors and warnings:

Error: DateSeparator equals TimeSeparator.
Warning: Time100SecSeparator is different from DecimalSeparator, this may be
correct or not. Intended?
Warning: Don't forget to adapt corresponding FormatCode elements when changing
separators.
Warning: DoubleQuotationStart is an ASCII character but DoubleQuotationEnd is not.
Warning: QuotationStart equals QuotationEnd. Not necessarily an error, but unusual.
Warning: FormatCode formatindex="12" for currency uses parentheses for negative
amounts, which probably is not correct for locales not based on en_US.
Warning: FormatCode formatindex="13" for currency uses parentheses for negative
amounts, which probably is not correct for locales not based on en_US.
Warning: FormatCode formatindex="14" for currency uses parentheses for negative
amounts, which probably is not correct for locales not based on en_US.
Warning: FormatCode formatindex="15" for currency uses parentheses for negative
amounts, which probably is not correct for locales not based on en_US.
Warning: FormatCode formatindex="17" for currency uses parentheses for negative

Warning: formatindex="4","44","45" are the only FormatCode elements checked for
separator usage, there may be others that have errors.
Error: TimeSeparator not present in FormatCode formatindex="45".

Can someone please clarify on these?

Thanks

I've put out a call to the contributor but haven't heard anything, I'm unable to
correct the issues.  Will copy the issues onto the mailing lists and see if any
other Arabic speakers can assist

Any update on the correct separators to be used and the number format codes?

Afraid no feedback :(

Afraid no feedback :( Have asked some friends at Arabise if they can help

Retargeting to "OOo PleaseHelp".

Again, for clarification, we need decisions on the following topics. For
details on format codes please see the documentation available at
http://www.it46.se/localegen/docs/Creating_locale_OOo_LocaleGEN_v2.1.php
and some technical details commented in
http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/trunk/i18npool/source/localedata/data/locale.dtd
If there are remaining questions please ask.

1. Ususally the Time100SecSeparator used to separate 100th seconds from
   seconds in time formats is identical to the DecimalSeparator. In the
   attached locale data this is not the case, instead it is identical to
   the ListSeparator and identical to all LongDate* separators.

2. The DateSeparator 'و' defined is not used in date formats, the date
   formats use the slash '/' instead.

3. The TimeSeparator 'و' defined equals DateSeparator (it must differ)
   and is not used in time formats, the time formats use the colon ':'
   instead.

4. All LongDate* separators are questionably defined to be identical
   '،', but are also not used anywhere in date formats, which mostly use
   comma ',' instead.

5. The currency formats defined use a negative format with parentheses
   that most probably is wrong, instead of a minus sign. Instead it
   should be something similar to

   -[CURRENCY]# ##0,00
   or
   [CURRENCY]-# ##0,00
   and maybe with blanks between minus sign and/or currency symbol and/or
   amount.

6. The QuotationStart uses double quotation characters instead of single
   quotation characters. Whic would be the proper single quote
   characters to use?

7. The DoubleQuotationStart seems to be ill-defined to an ASCII double
   quote character.

8. For both, QuotationStart/QuotationEnd and
   DoubleQuotationStart/DoubleQuotationEnd it should be checked whether
   Start and End should be really identical, or if different Start and
   End characters are used instead.
