I repeat, keep the politics off the list. The URL I gave you is a list of references to official documents or statements (with links to official websites). I don't care about your ad hominem analisys of the website that hosts it, and I'm not going to engage in a discussion about politics. > b.

Indeed, "Valencian" is a valid name for referring to the southern variant of Catalan. Nobody put that into question. I repeat, the problem is _your_ translation not having anything to do with Valencian. This is a language the RACV invented in the 70s and pretends to pass as if it were Valencian. Since the whole academical/scientifical world, the whole legal world and basically anything mainstream isn't following, I understand that its supporters (e.g. you) try to use Wesnoth (and other free software projects) as a means to expand their niche community. And yes, I do believe this niche community deserves having and using their own translations if that makes them happy. However, would you please not pretend they're translations to Valencian? They are not. > [...] is in official Valencian: > http://www.avl.gva.es/img/EdicionsPublicacions/AcordsGenerals/NOMENTITAT.pdf Good. So you concede that there is an official Valencian, and that it happens to be used in government (gva.es) websites. > Well, it's true I follow RACV [...] And you admit that you weren't using it for the translation. See? It was easy. Now please act in consequence and stop demanding that your translation to RACV's language be called Valencian. Find another name, and another gettext code that doesn't collide with [EMAIL PROTECTED] I sent a suggestion earlier, in case that helps. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
