In my fine tradition of mentioning things as they come up, please interested parties now take a log at bug: http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3227 Need to extend language tags Serbian is a case in point, being written in both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. In this case Ivica has given us the Latin version - thanks very much! Problem is, when somebody also comes up with Cyrillic versions, we don't have language tags to differentiate them. A similar problem usually goes unnoticed with Chinese which uses both Traditional and Simplified characters. The usual hack is to assume that the Peoples's Republic and a couple of others use Simplified and Hong Kong and a couple of others use Traditional. Peeking at the region tag helps lets us decide although in reality both sets of characters are used quite commonly all over the place which is why many in the i18n community think of it as a hack. Correct me if I'm wrong but we can't use this trick with Serbian since both scripts are used in serbia. Don't confuse this issue with Serbocroatian which is now considered as the three separate languages Serbian (sv), Croatian (hr), and Bosnian (bs) - the latter two are always written in Latin script AFAIK. I've been thinking about creating a language class to replace the direct use of language tags. Functions to convert to actual tags would only be used when inter- acting with non-AbiWord components such as document formats and Linux locales. .abw would upgrade to more expressive language identification tags. Feedback in the mailing list or bug report greatly appreciated as this is a pet issue of mine.
