Description ooo 2003-09-09 15:22:05 UTC
Sub-issue of issue 11530: add North Sotho (South Africa) to language list.
Comment 1 ooo 2003-09-09 15:22:29 UTC
Target 2.0
Comment 2 ooo 2003-09-09 15:23:38 UTC
Target 2.0 I said.
Comment 3 ooo 2003-09-16 11:23:56 UTC
Hi Liz,

These string resources need approval:

English: North Sotho
 German: Nord Sotho   (?)
Comment 4 davidfraser 2003-09-16 12:02:32 UTC
I think the German is either Nord-Sotho or Nördliches Sotho - this
should be clarified before approving this (both are used in
de.wikipedia.org, for example). I will try and find out.
Comment 5 ooo 2003-09-16 12:24:39 UTC
The English term may also be "Northern Sotho" instead.
Comment 6 davidfraser 2003-09-16 12:36:05 UTC
Correct, Northern Sotho is probably preferable. I have sent an email
to the Pan South African Language Board to attempt to clarify these issues
Comment 7 e.matthis 2003-09-17 10:18:27 UTC
Liz->David: Thank you for doing the research. I'll wait to hear the
results before going ahead with this issue.
Comment 8 davidfraser 2003-11-25 08:15:27 UTC
Sorry for the delay, it's
 Northern Sotho
and
 Nördliches Sotho (in German)
Comment 9 e.matthis 2003-11-28 12:51:05 UTC
Thank you, David!

Liz -> ER:
Go ahead with the strings as follows:
English: Northern Sotho
 German: Nördliches Sotho

patch to add northern sotho to languages in tools/inc/lang.hxx
Comment 12 davidfraser 2004-01-23 09:09:41 UTC
Changed "North Sotho" to "Northern Sotho" in summary
Comment 13 davidfraser 2004-01-23 09:10:59 UTC
The attached patch is a temporary measure I am using so we can compile with
LANGUAGE_NORTHERN_SOTHO until a valid ID is assigned
Comment 14 ooo 2004-01-23 15:44:08 UTC
Hi David,

Ok, but please do not distribute or create documents with that ID.
I'll create a set of additional language defines soon.
Note that the final name of the define will probably be 
LANGUAGE_USER_SOTHO_NORTHERN to distinguish it from the predefined MS-LANGIDs
and leave room for LANGUAGE_USER_SOTHO_SOUTHERN or similar, and the value 0x0201
will definitely change.

Patch to add LANGUAGE_SEPEDI and LANGUAGE_NORTHERNSOTHO as alias
Comment 16 ooo 2004-04-19 13:25:49 UTC
David,

Should that alias really be LANGUAGE_NORTHERNSOTHO without a second underscore,
and not LANGUAGE_NORTHERN_SOTHO?

Comment 17 davidfraser 2004-04-19 13:48:26 UTC
My logic in using LANGUAGE_NORTHERNSOTHO is that a syntax like
LANGUAGE_MAINNAME_SUBNAME are usually used when there is a variety of a language
e.g. LANGUAGE_PORTUGUESE_BRAZILIAN, but Northern Sotho is not a variety of
Sotho, it is a different language. However if you think it should be changed I
can change it.
Comment 18 ooo 2004-04-19 15:11:31 UTC
No, perfect, leave it as it is. I wanted to know because in your comment from
January you used LANGUAGE_NORTHERN_SOTHO but the patch says
LANGUAGE_NORTHERNSOTHO. I just want to be sure to check in the right version for
your needs.
Comment 19 pavel 2004-04-19 22:31:26 UTC
Eike, I need this change in the fix1 tree. Could I commit it to ooo112fix1 with
other South African patches? See #i24170#.
Comment 20 ooo 2004-04-20 12:19:35 UTC
Pavel,

This patch is already contained in the patches of issue 24170, please see also
