IMO, you can use "slang" codes instead of ISO codes but that's unofficial and unsupported. >For example, there are some common slangs in Germany: Ostfriesisch/plattdeutsch, >bavarian, schwaebisch, fraenkisch etc. I wonder how one would encode >these. AFAIK, there is no support for a <dialect> in unix locales even if slangs and dialects were standardized by ISO. I think you would need to have something like this: <language>[_<dialect>][_<territory>][.<character-set>][,<version>] Best regards, Pavel Makovec -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
