Hi, I was experimenting with changing my system language (Ubuntu 10.10) and ran in to a problem: I set the language in Ubuntu's language settings tool to Canadian French but was not getting any French translations showing up in GNUstep apps.I didn't touch the NSLanguages user default, but when I tried reading it in an application, it returned ("CanadianFrench", "English"). The following patch fixes this problem by expanding regional locales into their more general variants - so "CanadianFrench" is expanded to ("CanadianFrench", "French") Also, it adds support for reading the LANGUAGE environment variable, a GNU extension, which lets you specify a list of locales like "de:fr_CA:en" if you wanted to see German, then Canadian French, then English in order of preference. In other words, it has the same role as the GNUstep LANGUAGES environment variable, but it's used by GNU gettext/gtk/probably others. According to the gettext docs, if LANGUAGE is set it is supposed to take precedence over LC_MESSAGES and LANG.
Looks like a great patch to me. We should integrate this right after the next base release. (Hint!)
You are aware that your last example, "de:fr_CA:en", will result in something like ("German", "CanadianFrench", "French", "English")? I think is is debatable where "French" should be put in this list, but the current solution is fine with we.
