The original English string is "Friulian".

$ grep -B 3 Friulian /usr/share/xml/iso-codes/iso_639.xml


If your display language is Friulian, it will be shown as "Furlan" only 
if there is a Friulian translation of the language name. That seems not 
to be the case:

Re: [bn-IN] Reincarnate Bengali (India) Translation Team

I want to bring to your notice that the current translation team of
Bengali (India) is not active and hence not responding to any of the
submissions/messages. Because of that there are lot of fuzzy,
wrongly translated strings which awaits to be corrected from the last
4 years. I have tried opening a bug report
(https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Translation/bn_IN/-/issues/1) 10
months ago but did not receive any response whatsoever.


This request makes me wonder about the organization of the 
Bangla/Bengali translation of Linux. I see three "languages" at 
<https://l10n.gnome.org/languages/>: bn, bn_BD and bn_IN.


Most languages which are spoken in multiple countries have one common 
translation team. Does Bangla/Bengali have such distinct dialects in 
Bangladesh respective India which motivate separate translation teams? 
Or would there be room for 'merging' the teams?


A user with a bn_BD locale won't benefit from bn_IN translations and 
vice versa. So besides using the translator resources more efficiently, 
merging the teams into a 'bn' team would be good also from a user 
experience POV.

Re: xkeyboard-config out of sync

I don't know from where the failing xgettext() call comes, but I get the 
impression that the $(top_srcdir) variable fails to expand. Thinking 
that it might make a difference to replace


$(top_srcdir)/rules/xkb.its

with

../rules/xkb.its

considering that the call seems to be done from the po/ folder.

It seems to be a fetch error.

On [1] it says: Error regenerating POT file for xkeyboard-config

I reported the wrong i18n setup in

but didn’t pursue it further for lack of time and motivation.

[RFC] Distinguish locales with modifiers

2019-07-17 Thread Gunnar Hjalmarsson

Hi all!

My first message to this list. Sorry for being somewhat wordy.

Some locales have modifiers appended to them. Examples:

ca_ES@valencia
sr_RS@latin

Currently, in the Language and Formats views in gnome-control-center, 
such locales are shown with the same labels as their equivalents without 
modifiers. So in the Language view you may see two occurrences of:


CatalanSpain

and

SerbianSerbia

and in the Formats view you may see two occurrences of:

Spain (Catalan)

and

Serbia (Serbian)

The issue has been reported here:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-desktop/issues/50

and is about to be fixed now. Already committed changes together with 
proposed changes to gnome-desktop and gnome-control-center result in this:


Language view
-
CatalanSpain
Catalan — Valencia Spain

SerbianSerbia
Serbian — LatinSerbia

Formats view

Spain (Catalan — Valencia)
Spain (Catalan)

Serbia (Serbian — Latin)
Serbia (Serbian)

The key to achieve this is the function gnome_get_translated_modifier() 
in this file:


https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-desktop/blob/master/libgnome-desktop/gnome-languages.c

where a few translatable strings, representing raw modifier strings, 
have been hard coded.


I'm bringing this to your attention to ask if you think the solution in 
the making is reasonable and something you feel comfortable with. If you 
have doubts, please respond to this message or comment on the still open 
merge request:


https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-desktop/merge_requests/45

Thanks!
