UI localization and the locale data used to display / format / parse values are independent, you can use UI of one language and have the locale set to a completely different language/country combination. > What I thought was that there was am_ET.xml in the pool of locale data: > http://svn.services.openoffice.org/ooo/trunk/i18npool/source/localedata/data/ > > So, I mistakenly jumped into the idea that that should be am_ET instead of am. > > Looking for other languages, I see: > de_AT.xml for German in AUSTRIA > de_CH.xml for German in SWITZERLAND > de_DE.xml for German in GERMANY > de_LI.xml for German in LIECHTENSTEIN > de_LU.xml for German in LUXEMBOURG > > http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements > > While a download file for German is: > OOo_3.1.0_Win32Intel_install_de.exe Correct, an Austrian localization (actually language details do differ to some degree) would be feasible though. An example for different UI localizations of the "same" language are Portuguese 'pt' and Brazilian Portuguese 'pt-BR' as a specialization. So even if there is a generic localization for one language a specialized country dependent translation is possible. > Therefore, I was wrong about that. > The language code 'am', instead of am_ET, is sufficient for Amharic. > Is that correct?
