Here a list of corret locales, theoretically your programms should
handle them all ...
en_US.ISO8859-1 de_DE.ISO8859-1 ru_RU.ISO8859-5
en_US.iso88591 de_DE.iso88591 ru_RU.iso88595
en_US de_DE ru_RU
en de ru
english german russian
english.iso88591 german.iso88591 russian.iso88595
english.roman8 russian.koi8r
have a look in "/usr/share/locale" to see what you an find there ...
to explain you the mechanism in 3 words:
* a correct locale indication looks the following way:
ll_SS.charset, where "ll" is the language (e.g. en for english)
"SS" is the state (e.g. US for the USA)
"charset" is the used chrset ...
* there are some fallback mechanisms to capture missing parts:
when no charset is given, consider "iso88591" (the de facto standard ...)
when no country is indicated use the laanguage only ...
* as I have set a correct LC_CTYPE, linux looks in "de_DE" for
german language spoken in Germany (which is mostly a symlink to
"de") ...
Look like harddrake uses the folder "/usr/share/locale", it works fine
with my LC_ALL ...
I haven lookt in the code so far but the way you store your po-files
looks verry strange anyway (bzipped po-files instead of mo files ...)
Pablo could you please comment on this ...
