Thanks.) To explain why such crux workaround is necessary from the technical side: There are 5 variants to write Armenian, as per https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116058#c2 but only 4 distinct language tags. Omitting A.2) 'axm' there leaves us with 4 variants and 3 distinct language tags. To resolve that from a *technical* point it was addressed with commit https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=01d9d5b491d03004b3690c2a1ff4d99997e02a5a which as possible tags added hy-RU and hy-IR. This has nothing to do with attaching Armenians to Russia or whatsoever. This is a technical workaround solution, not a political one. If the IANA language tag registry knew distinct variant subtags for the different ortographies then all this wouldn't be a problem. To properly solve this best would be to request such variant subtags, see http://langtag.net/register-new-subtag.html I don't know if and what difference there is between the current 'hy' translation and the most common ortography (is it the "Modern"/USSR1940 Armenian orthography, or something else?) and the proposed hy-RU, but please resolve this dispute in a sensible manner. The 'hy' tag default locale is of course hy-AM and whatever the most common ortography used with Eastern Armenian as used in Armenia is should be translated under the 'hy' tag.
