- I submit an Enhancement issue in l10n subcomponent i18npool, stating
_sc-IT_ as [xxx-YY] (ISO 639-1 exists for Sardinian

It ('sc') is a Macrolanguage code though,  which means it encompasses
several specific Sardinian languages, see
http://sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp?order=reference_name&letter=s

Which of the listed Sardinian languages are we talking about?

sro  Sardinian, Campidanese
sdn  Sardinian, Gallurese
src  Sardinian, Logudorese
sdc  Sardinian, Sassarese

All these languages are variants, that's to say dialects inside the Sardinian territory. We are checking now if we need to use a "Macrocode" for that such
as "sc", see below.


And what would a plain 'sc' or 'srd' if encountered most likely map to?

However, 'sc' is the Calc spreadsheet application (just kidding ;-)
anyway, a native-lang domain sc.oo.o could not be used.

I think this is a problem. The ISO 639-1 is clear.

Is it possible to use "srd" as stated by 639-2 and -3?


That would be possible, yes.





but ISO 3166-1 doesn't, so I
suppose that I have to state IT, Italian, as "country").

Yes.

Ok


- I DO NOT state CTL and RTL, due to its romance origin.
- I HAVE NOT FOUND, sadly, that the Microsoft locale identifier (LCID) is
not present for Sardinian, so I cannot state one.

No problem, I assign IDs in the user space if MS didn't.

Ok


After that, if I understood well, I need to create a _new locale data_ to be able to fully support Sardinian as a locale, including number formats and calendar data, and having it selectable as default document language.
For this step I surely need some help more...

See
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/ How_to_submit_new_Locale_Data

thank you.


Does this involve also spellchecker and hyphenation?

No, locale data and spell-checker are independent from each other.

Are all steps mentioned above correct? May I proceed with the issue?

Once we clarified the "which Sardinian" mentioned above, yes, please.
Did you already send a signed SCA? See
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Sun_Contributor_Agreement

I already sent a SCA to Sun but I do not know if it suits well for this new
project.


It does; although you won't necessarily need it for uploading content on the web site.

Best
Charles.
