Comment	> Using a country part in a translation file is a discouraged practice > except in very few cases (such as pt_BR). > > Using a fr_FR.po file instead of a fr.po file prevents users of fr_CA, > fr_BE, fr_LU, fr_CH and all other existing and future locales for > French to benefit from the French translation of the program. > > The language does not vary among countries and, again, this is not the > general practice for programs localization. > > The bug also occurs for other translations. In general PO files should > only be named after the ISO_639 code of the given language and > should not use a country part with a ISO-3166 code. The only > accepted exceptions to this are: > > -pt_BR for Brazilian Portuguese and pt alone for "standard Portuguese" > -zh_CN for "Simplified Chinese" use in mailand China and Singapore > -zh_TW for "Traditional Chinese" used in Taiwan > > Lat both are different ways of wrinting Chinese, not to be confused > with Mandarin/Cantonese which are different ways of speaking > Chinese....both being written the same way. > > regards > > Mathieu P > > (Wordings taken from http://bugs.debian.org/336798) > > References: > - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336812 > - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336815 > - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336818 > - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336824 > - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336798 > - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336800 > - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336819 > - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336820 > - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=336821 >
