[Pkg-sympa-devel] Bug#682563: sympa: supported_lang defaults to "de", which is bizarre

Package: sympa
Version: 6.1.11~dfsg-4
Severity: normal
In the default /etc/sympa/sympa.conf, I discovered that the only
supported language (in the "lang" setting) is "de", despite that fact
that I work in English.
I've tracked down the problem somewhat:
$ locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
de_DE.utf8
en_GB.utf8
POSIX
(here, de_DE is used so that I can test internationalisation when I
need to).
But sympa's supported_lang variable contains:
ca,cs,de,el,es,et_EE,en_US,fr,fi,hu,it,ja_JP,ko,nl,nb_NO,oc,pl,pt_BR,ru,sv,tr,vi,zh_CN,zh_TW
Note that there is no "en" setting (and likewise, no "pt" setting, and
so on); perhaps there should be a fallback so that en_GB looks first
for en_GB and then for en, with en being a synonym for en_US. (That's
better than German for an English speaker!)
