You concluded that it's not useful to use dialects in LANGUAGE. But that's just not true. If I set LANGUAGE to de_DE:de_AT and there exists only a de_AT file I would get it which isn't the case if LANGUAGE=de_DE. > About your last question, > foo.po is compiled and installed into /usr/share/locale/foo/LC_MESSAGES. You're probably right. I just wondered that I do not have a /usr/share/locale/de_DE directory but only /usr/share/locale/de and /usr/share/locale/de_AT whereas I know that many de_DE.po files exist in various packages. That's why I thought de_DE.po files are installed in /usr/share/locale/de. The eject package is an example but renames the de_DE.po file to de.po in po/Makefile before it is installed. Other packages listed on http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po/de_DE are most likely not installed on my system. Jens -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
