I try to localize it for single byte locales.
I think part of the problem is that there aren't enough people who truly
understand localization. I think I understand most of it, but I'm
pretty sure I *don't* understand how collation works, or is supposed to
work. Amongst other things, I don't understand how (or whether) it
handles cases like "aa" and "å", which are considered the same letter in
Norwegian.
Perhaps you could create a Localization page on wiki.freebsd.org which
addresses these issues, or at least points to relevant resources?
Good regression test suite which would include cases in different single
and multi-byte locates for grep/sort/etc could also be a big help.
What regression suites do other implementations have? e.g. the GNU
textutils.
