So the ISO-locale is available, but has the lowest priority, as it is barely used in russian. I hope that other languages have their preferred encodings at the top of the list. Ukraine should not be a problem - people living there and wishing russian as their interface language will just choose Russian/Ukraine and get the default ru_UA. Others should get ru_RU. Ukrainian language itself will get uk_UA, so no problem here. -- Nikolai Prokoschenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
