> The "Messages libraries" section of the Derby Developer's Guide says that
> Derby "supports" a number of locales:
> * derbyLocale_de_DE.jar German
> * derbyLocale_es.jar - Spanish
> * derbyLocale_fr.jar - French
> * derbyLocale_it.jar - Italian
> * derbyLocale_ja_JP.jar - Japanese
> * derbyLocale_ko_KR.jar - Korean
> * derbyLocale_pt_BR.jar - Brazilian Portuguese
> * derbyLocale_zh_CN.jar - Simplified Chinese
> * derbyLocale_zh_TW.jar - Traditional Chinese
> In fact, in addition to these locales, Derby provides localizations for some
> others (see http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/LocalizingDerbyMessages):
> * derbyLocale_cs.jar - Czech
> * derbyLocale_hu.jar - Hungarian
> * derbyLocale_pl.jar - Polish (except for sysinfo)
> * derbyLocale_ru.jar - Russian
> The term "supports" may overdescribe the situation. Effort has been put into
> keeping some of these localizations up-to-date, although I don't think that
> any systematic effort has been put into verifying that any of our non-English
> locales are really current. Some locales have not been updated recently.
> Here's the list of locales which received fresh localizations in 10.4 (see
> http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3804):
> German
> Spanish
> French
> Italian
> Japanese
> Korean
> Traditional and Simplified Chinese
> This means that the Developer's Guide is claiming that Derby "supports"
> Portuguese, even though it's clear that those localizations are drifting out
> of sync with the English messages.
> We should correct the "Message libraries" section:
> 1) We should decide what we mean by "supports". This term could mean
>
> a) Derby provides SOME localized messages for the locale or
> b) The localizations are being actively maintained
> 2) Based on what how we resolve (1), we should add or subtract locales from
> the list in "Message libraries"
> My gut feeling is that we should list all of the locales for which we provide
> localizations and this section should note that some locales are maintained
> better than others.
