Summary: Please provide complete support for crh locale 
Part: General


Initial Comment:
I don't know for sure whether it matters, but I don't see crh listed in:
/iso-codes-3.8/notes/language-in-locales.txt
and
/iso-codes-3.8/notes/territory-in-locales.txt
And the same for 3.7.

On Ubuntu, crh is not listed in gdm languages list, even though it can be selected as a default language. I believe that the above plays a major part in it, or constitutes the entire root cause of that issue. I hope this can be resolved ASAP.

Thanks.

Hi,

you're right, the files you mentioned are indeed provided by the iso-codes package. However, they have not been updated for the last five(!) years and are scheduled for removal -- essentially, they are not needed because you can extract more information from the XML files.

I had a brief look into the source code of gdm -- they seem to use the XML files and the translations provided as .mo files by our package. What makes you think that the text files (notes/language-in-locales.txt and notes/territory-in-locales.txt) are used by gdm and play a major part?

I would suggest to contact the gdm folks about your problem with crh.

HTH,
Tobias

The following files are from the ftp download that you guys have:
notes/language-in-locales.txt
notes/territory-in-locales.txt

Do you mean that you take them from another project, and include them in your releases?

P.S. I don't and wouldn't expect you guys to fix the gdm languages list issue, but i'm trying to make sure that all i's are dotted for the crh locale within iso-codes releases.

I don't exactly understand what you mean in this bug report. The files you mention are not provided by the iso-codes package.

crh, namely Crimean Turkish, is listed in the ISO-639-3 list we provide.

I think that having crh listed in gdm languages requires talking with the GNOME folks more than us...
