Hello asmelash, One question from a technical point of view, probably for software engineers.
Which, or both?, or else?, is better for your language like en_US and en_GB for English in the US and English in the United Kingdom (Great Britain), respectively? - am - am_ET http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amharic says Amharic is spoken in both Ethiopia and Israel. http://www.mekit.net/address.asp says MIT is located in Ethiopia. One of the Linux distributions, Fedora 10, has both am and am_ET in its directory, /usr/share/locale. Source code of OpenOffice.org has locale data such as date, numeric, currency and things like that, for each language. http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/trunk/i18npool/source/localedata/data/ Well, am_ET.xml is already there. Those expressions are not directly related to a URI of project, but for internal implementation. See http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html Project Data Descriptions =========================== ========= ====================== Portuguese (pt) pt_PT.xml Portuguese in Portugal Portuguese of Brasil (br) pt_BR.xml Portuguese in Brazil Cheers, Tora Asmelash Teka wrote:
Dear Charles, The localisation group at MIT (Mekelle Institute of Technology) has been waiting for the creation of Amharic native language project from the time we requested until now. It turned out that, there has been no activity, not even a response, about it. By the way, we are glad to tell you that our group has been working tirelessly and has finished localising OOo to Amharic. We are looking for ways to make it readily available to the rest of the world, so that interested individuals can download and use it and other developers can work to perfect it. I don't think there is any better option for this purpose than creating a native language project for Amharic in OpenOffice.org. Considering these efforts, I'd like to request your positive action soon. Thank you!! peace, asmelash
