If that's the case, then the best code to use would be "ber". The ISO 639-2 standard defines "ber" to be any Berber language other than Kabyle, Tamashek, and Zenaga, but I think we don't have a better option. Alternatively, you may want need to create identical copies under "kab", "tmh", and "zen" (possibly with minor local differences, if any). But I don't think it would be worth the effort, as users could be advised to just use "ber". > i hope to know if is it possible to make one other translation to tifinagh > please It is possible. Tifiniagh has been in Unicode since 4.1 and Pango . I believe the code for that would be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Please note that you also need to create locale files for glibc. This needs to be done for all the different countries you plan to translate free software to Berber for, let's say, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Niger, and Mali.
