[Pkg-isocodes-devel] (forw) [pkg-isocodes-Bugs][312565] ISO 639, ISO 639-3: "Ελληνικά, Σύγχρονα" should be "Ελληνικά"

[Christian PERRIER]

Hello, Athanasios

I'm one of the maintainers of the iso-codes package which you
translated to Greek.

We had a bug report about Greek translations of....the Greek language
name. The ISO 639 standard gives "Greek, Modern (1453-)" for "el",
which you translated to Ελληνικά, Σύγχρονα. Even though I don't grok
Greek, I guess that "Σύγχρονα" means "Modern"....so there's indeed
nothing wrong with this.

Still, one may argue that this is indeed the Grrek that everybody (at
least in Greece) is speaking now, so it could well be named "Greek"
alone. 

Would you object dropping the "Modern" part?

Initial Comment:
Bug reported at launchpad/ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/iso-codes/+bug/267513

The text string "Greek, Modern (1453-)" in the translated el.po files should be only "Ελληνικά", not "Ελληνικά, Σύγχρονα".

~/Desktop/iso-codes-3.16$ grep -lri "Σύγχρονα" */el.po
iso_639/el.po
iso_639_3/el.po

~/Desktop/iso-codes-3.16$ grep -ri "Σύγχρονα" */el.po
iso_639/el.po:msgstr "Ελληνικά, Σύγχρονα"
iso_639_3/el.po:msgstr "Ελληνικά, Σύγχρονα"
