yes of course, that's what I understood. > For instance, Greek would be shown as follows: > > gr_GR Choose this......in greek (Greece) > gr Choose this......in greek (Other countries) > actually it's el_GR. > Users from, say, Cyprus or Macedonia, could then choose "gr" and > then be presented with all possible combinations, according to > /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED. actually it's only Cyprus that might choose greek. Macedonia (the part which we call FYROM) has its own language. There is no need to include a separate field for the greek part of Macedonia. This is actually quite a sensitive matter here but I'll avoid getting into politics. > By the way, when it comes to greek, I see that no greek locale, > including gr_GR, is shown in SUPPORTED....Pretty surprising to me. yes the locale name is el_GR or more preferably el_GR.UTF-8 (since ISO-8859-7 will be eventually replaced by the more flexible UTF-8, and about time too). After discussion, it has been decided that the default locale for a greek installation will be the UTF-8 one.
