Thanks for your consideration, I/we fully understand your concerns. To your
numbered list of
obstacles/issues to solve:
1. I can only hope you find somebody - we will do whatever we can do to help
ease the task, hopefully
enough that somebody will actually do it.
2./4./5. I don't know much about OOo internals, processes and tools (yet), and
I don't know what CWS is,
but how I read this is that all you need is the English variant (but that
perhaps somebody in the
localisation teams would be happy to receive the list of localised language
names we have provided).
3. I am happy to only add the languages for which there are already defined
codes. Your list is missing one
language, I have provided an updated list (and a reference) below. After the
correction, only Kildin Sámi (in
Russia) would be left out this time. That is acceptable, given the present
available resources for proofing
tools for that language.
6. No useful comment until I understand what CWS is.
The *UPDATED* list of the currently available(? they are available at least in
the sense that both ISO and
MS have defined codes for them) LangID definitions with ISO code mappings:
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_INARI 0x243B
{ LANGUAGE_SAMI_INARI, "smn", "FI" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_LULE_NORWAY 0x103B
{ LANGUAGE_SAMI_LULE_NORWAY, "smj", "NO" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_LULE_SWEDEN 0x143B
{ LANGUAGE_SAMI_LULE_SWEDEN, "smj", "SE" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_NORTHERN_FINLAND 0x0C3B
{ LANGUAGE_SAMI_NORTHERN_FINLAND, "se", "FI" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_NORTHERN_SWEDEN 0x083B
{ LANGUAGE_SAMI_NORTHERN_SWEDEN, "se", "SE" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_NORTHERN_NORWAY 0x043B
{ LANGUAGE_SAMI_NORTHERN_NORWAY, "se", "NO" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_SKOLT 0x203B
{ LANGUAGE_SAMI_SKOLT, "sms", "FI" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_SOUTHERN_NORWAY 0x183B
{ LANGUAGE_SAMI_SOUTHERN_NORWAY, "sma", "NO" },
#define LANGUAGE_SAMI_SOUTHERN_SWEDEN 0x1C3B
{ LANGUAGE_SAMI_SOUTHERN_SWEDEN, "sma", "SE" },
The added language is 0x043B/Northern Sámi, Norway.
The Microsoft language code for it can be found on these pages:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/nlsweb/default.mspx?OS=Windows%20XP%20Service%20Pack%202
and
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms172470.aspx
Northern Sámi in Norway is the locale with the largest population, and if it is
missing in the OOo LangID
definitions, that has to be an oversight (I'm not 100% sure of the status of
the code list you provided - I
have just extended it based on information from MS and ISO). But given that
North Sámi is still defined for
Finland and Sweden, it would probably not be too much of an annoyance for the
users if it would be
missing - the *language* would still be available.
Finally - what strings are the "suitable strings" you mention in the last
paragraph? Anything we can
provide?
The English language names were given in an earlier comment.
