Hi moyogo,

I'll send the JCA form asap.

Good. Btw, what is your full name, so I can look it up in the list of
approved assignments?

1. The ThousandSeparator is ' ' non-breaking space. Thanks for noticing
the
empty one.

The format codes have to be adapted to use it. I'll do that.

2. The ListSeparator is  ' ; '.

The separator should be one character only, I'll remove the surrounding
blanks.

3. I set the negative currency form to
   <FormatCode>[CURRENCY] # ##0,00;[RED]-[CURRENCY] #
##0,00</FormatCode>

Also the codes not having [RED] negatives probably should be adapted,
I'll do.

4. The CurrencySymbol is now "F", althought "Fc" is often encountered.

Which means that also the LC_FORMAT replaceTo attribute should use 'F', will do. Btw, I assigned the MS-LangID 0x0639 to ln-CD, so it reads now
replaceTo="[$F-639]".

5. The IndexKey is now A-E Ɛ F-O Ɔ P-Z

Fine.


Regarding the collation :

the alphabetical order is the most common one I have encountered.
The morphological order (ln_morph) is recommended by some linguists so
it should
be available.
But I think the alphabetical order (ln_charset) should be the default, unless there’s an official order that is set by decree or such, which
hasn’t
happened.

Since we don't have a "Morphological" collation algorithm yet, not even
in the user interface, would that be a proper name? The alphabetical
order usually is called "Alphanumeric". Note that most languages don't
use a "Character Set" order, but have alphanumeric instead.

The morphological order also resembles somewhat that of the hu_HU locale where a "charset" collation is used. As I'm absolutely not familiar with Lingala, could the alphabetical order be called "Alphanumeric" (and the collation data file be named ln_alphanumeric.txt) and the morpholigical order be called "Character Set" (and the file be named ln_charset.txt) instead? That way we wouldn't need an additional algorithm name and UI
entry.

The IndexKey element then should follow whatever we decide here and we
may as well need two elements.

I noticed the percent format codes have a blank between digits and the
% character. This is usually not the case and the percent character
immediately follows the number, like in 0% . Intended?

Btw, the Locale element had the attribute allowUpdateFromCLDR="yes",
which should only be set if normative locale data is available in the
CLDR and the locale data may be updated semi-automatically. As we didn't
do a comparison yet I defined that to "no".
