It would be great to have this flexibility, in general, but for now i'd like to focus on real Latin alphabet (İQTElif specifically). I could think about perhaps venturing on Arabic-alphabet-based localization when i retire, as i'm sure there is a lot of work around for Latin alphabet that will take some time (including outside of OO). If i was to guess, Cyrillic and Yañalif-based localizations won't draw much interest. Although of course if somebody wanted to join to work on them, i'd not have anything against it. > You could do this by creating a Native-Lang project of level 1, > which at least could help giving some consistence to the whole > project, because it would the Tatar Native-Lang project and would > not fall into the locale "details". > > Answering about the Cyrillic vs Latin alphabet, I think the way > that we should think about it is although two versions of a Tatar > OOo are desirable, OOo Native-Langage Projects are langage - based, > not country-based.

Does all this > make sense? So i guess there are no serious questions about crh (lucky Crimean brothers). ;) It appears we can say that crh (Crimean Tatar) locale is agreed on. I'd appreciate your final thoughts on the tt locale, though. Given the plethora of Latin alphabets for tt floating around, can it be: tt-RU-iqte ?
This isn't much of a concern for me now, but i guess if somebody wanted to do Jaŋalif, they'd need a modifier like jnlf.
