Hi, I took a quick look at the Locale code and the Resource Manager code and as far as I can see Flex already supports language only locales (see comments in Locale.as).
So possibly all that is requires to fully support an language locale is to: 1. add it as an ultimate fall back (as required) in sortLocalesByPreference, eg if you specify -locale=en_US the locale chain would become en_US,en 2. Compile both the en locale and en_US locale (which would be empty) into the swf, hopefully with you just specifying -locale=en_US This mean it will be much simpler to support new locales that have the same language as previous supported languages as the differences between en_AU and en_GB and en_US (or even fr_CA and fr_FR) are fairly minor. When switching between multiple locale of the same language the compiled resources would be a lot smaller and have no duplication. This would carry on from the framework resources to user resources as well means a lot less duplication in resource files and mean you don't have to fully translate a locale in order to start working with it. This would also require a bit of a cleanup of the current resource files. Initially setting the "en" locale to have the same resource files as en_US (via the copylocale utility) so all applications are not suddenly speaking the Queen's English :-) Anyone see any issue with this? There probably a few other things that may need to change to support this but probably worth an experiment. Thanks, Justin
