Hi Peter, Stumbled over by accident on the discuss@ list..

As a general advice: it's much easier for people to read and follow up on a mail if they don't need an external program to open it.. furthermore, quite some attachments are stripped from the lists, so it's more or less good luck if you got through with your attachment. Anyway, as the proper mailing list for localization topics is dev@l10n.openoffice.org instead, to subscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], and I'm crossposting this reply to that list (reply-to also set to that list), I'll quote all you wrote in your attachment: > Dear All, > > I propose to start a native lang project, I think this is more about the localization of the OOo software, or am I wrong on this? > because I have noticed that the > community here in Curaçao are becoming more and more interested in developing > the language Papiamento and using it as the instructional language in > education.

To be able to assign Papiamento to a portion of text, or to select the Papiamento UI from a multi-lingual installation, we'll need a corresponding language listbox entry. What is the time frame we're talking about, when can we expect the need of supporting the pap-AN locale earliest? Eike P.S.: As you're not subscribed to the mailing list you were posting to, you will miss replies that are directed to the list only. When answering, please reply only to the list (Reply-To header is set), not to my personal account. Thanks. -- OOo/SO Calc core developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.
