The reasons why I retargeted this are:

1. I personally don't have time to work on this right now, I'm busy with other
   things.

2. We are short before UI freeze, which is Nov-15, see
   http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OOoRelease24

3. Including all of the requested locales would need some research whether MS
   defined some new LangIDs for Sami, additionally to the already known ones,
   see below. If not, new IDs in the user space would have to be created. New
   mappings would be needed anyway.

4. I don't have a CWS open anymore that is UI/translation relevant where
   I could add language list box entries. (btw, localized names are up to the
   localization teams and not relevant here, we add only English entries to
   the resource files)

5. If someone had such a CWS for this, it would have to go through QA before
   UI freeze, QA people are already overloaded for OOo2.4

6. Additional obstacle in case we could push this in somewhere:
   svx/source/dialog/langtab.src, where the list box entries are defined, will
   be moved to svtools/source/misc/langtab.src upon integration of CWS
   langstatusbar. Release engineering would have to take extra care of that
   and merge entries from the than dead file to the new file.


So, to solve this:

1. We'll have to find someone who can work on this.

2./4./5. In a very timely manner on a CWS that is scheduled to be certainly
   integrated until UI freeze. With English list box entries that conform to
   the "Language (Country)" convention we use.

3. To not have to come up with yet other LangID definitions, we should use and
   add list box entries only for the ones we already have defined, see below.
   This would also restrict changes to the svx/source/dialog/langtab.src file
   and we wouldn't have to touch the i18npool module.

6. The responsible developer must keep an eye on integration of the CWS if
   that happens after CWS langstatusbar was integrated.

The list of the currently available LangID definitions with ISO code mappings:

#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_INARI                 0x243B
    { LANGUAGE_SAMI_INARI,                 "smn", "FI" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_LULE_NORWAY           0x103B
    { LANGUAGE_SAMI_LULE_NORWAY,           "smj", "NO" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_LULE_SWEDEN           0x143B
    { LANGUAGE_SAMI_LULE_SWEDEN,           "smj", "SE" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_NORTHERN_FINLAND      0x0C3B
    { LANGUAGE_SAMI_NORTHERN_FINLAND,       "se", "FI" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_NORTHERN_SWEDEN       0x083B
    { LANGUAGE_SAMI_NORTHERN_SWEDEN,        "se", "SE" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_SKOLT                 0x203B
    { LANGUAGE_SAMI_SKOLT,                 "sms", "FI" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_SOUTHERN_NORWAY       0x183B
    { LANGUAGE_SAMI_SOUTHERN_NORWAY,       "sma", "NO" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_SOUTHERN_SWEDEN       0x1C3B
    { LANGUAGE_SAMI_SOUTHERN_SWEDEN,       "sma", "SE" },

Adding corresponding entries to the langtab.src file is easy once we have
suitable strings, just that someone has to do it and all the administrative
work related to CWSs. I'll ask on IRC and on [EMAIL PROTECTED] if someone could 
take
over.

Thanks for understanding.
