--- Comment #18 from Bruno Haible
What about the hy_AM.armscii-8 locale?
It is supported by glibc. Therefore I have no idea why it causes problems with "locale -a". Did someone try to debug it?
Does anybody really need that?
For a positive answer, you may need to ask Pablo Saratxaga. I have two pieces of facts: - There are only 2 Armenian PO files in TP, KDE, GNOME, and they are all encoded in UTF-8. http://translationproject.org/team/hy.html http://i18n.kde.org/team-infos.php?teamcode=hy http://www.gnome.org/i18n/ - ARMSCII-8 is not among the encodings supported by GNU gettext and coreutils for 6 years now. It has not been reported as a bug.
Any reasons why one cannot use hy_AM.UTF-8?
I guess that people are using hy_AM.UTF-8 and that it works well.
“locale -a” lists the UTF-8 locales like ja_JP.utf8. That doesn’t look so nice to me because UTF-8 is the preferred spelling, i.e. it would be nicer if it were listed as ja_JP.UTF-8 by the “locale -a” command.
Yes, I agree with you. But try to convince Ulrich Drepper. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
