------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 11 12:41:08 -0800 2005 ------- The locale files are named according to their language and the country respectively, e.g. en_GB.xml, sv_SE.xml. In the list of locale files there is only one that does not include the country name: eu.xml. I assume that for political reasons the Basques donÂt want to mention their country. The part of that file which concerns the country has empty elements. According to the documentation XLocaleData the country part is mandatory. IMHO, empty elements are a kludge and I expect that they may cause problems in use. Strangely the currency is defined (Peseta and Euro) so the country can be inferred to be Spain. A better example for our purposes is hu_HU.xml for Hungarian and Hungary. It contains the country name (in English!) and the currency Forint. It seems to me that for Esperanto we need a separate file for each country, because the country and currency data are mandatory. So for me, for example, a file eo_NZ.xml will need a section about my country (New Zealand) and a section about the currency of NZ. The currency can be redirected thus: <LC_CURRENCY ref="en_NZ"/> so that it will pick up the definition in the file en_NZ.xml. Is there a way of doing this automagically? If so we would need only one file. The file name referred to in the currency element must exist in the list of locale files and, I suppose, must exist on the userÂs computer. I have put together an initial version of eo_NZ.xml. Other Esperanto users can easily change the value of the currency ref from Âen_NZÂ to say Âen_USÂ or Âhu_HUÂ according to their own requirements. I have of course included data on number and date formats, the calendar, days, months etc. I used the Swedish file as the model for eo_NZ.xml because the date formats in it are close to those of the ISO. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
