Thailand (Thai) Locale Definition
---------------------------------

According to POSIX.2, locale data file can be constructed with 'localedef'
utility, by using a locale definition file.  The utility is part of GNU libc.  
It translates the definition file into binary data suitable for fast access
by the GNU libc functions.

Thailand (Thai) locale definition is thereby created.  In this package,
you will find three files:
  - TIS-620:            the CHARMAP on which Thai locale is based
  - th_TH.tis620.posix: the Thai in Thailand locale definition file
  - mnemonic.th:        the Repertoire map for symbolic symbols in TIS-620

Requirements
------------
To use this locale definition, your system needs to have 'localedef' support,
which comes with GNU libc.  To use this feature, you must enable the
'localedata' add-on when compiling GNU libc:
    configure --enable-add-ons=...,localedata,...
where ... are the options you normally choose.

Locale Construction
-------------------
To compile th_TH (Thai language in Thailand) locale:

  0. First verify that the Thai locale is not already in the database
     by calling locale -a.  Look for th, th_TH, th_TH.tis620. If not
     then continue with 1.

  1. copy the TIS-620 charmap into the charmaps directory.  If you don't know
     where it is, try localedef --h
     The right place for charmaps will be reported.  Normally, it's at
     /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/.

  2.  copy mnemonic.th to /usr/share/i18n/repertoiremaps/
      As above, verify the location of the repertoiremaps

  3. call this command: install.sh
     Verify first that the locations in install.sh are correct.

  4. call the command locale -a to verify that the Thai locale is now in the
     database.  Should be three new entries: th, th_TH, th_TH.tis620
