But, I wonder:
Where do all the locale definitions come from? I mean: Who is defining
them,
maintaining them and controlling that they are correct and up to date and
organizing that there is a locale for each language etc.
Do the locale definitions look the same for every operating system?
Where can I find all locales that are available? (I am using debian if
it matters)
Or, where can I find a specification of how to make my own
locales if there are no locale available for a specific language?
(I doubt that there are locales for all the languages that I want to
use, but one never knows...)
Here is something from a recent message to the Unicode mailing list:
The Unicode Consortium is pleased to announce the release of new versions
of the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR 1.2) and the Locale Data Markup
Language specification (LDML 1.2).
For more information on the contents of this release, see:
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/repository_access.html
For more information on the new version of LDML, see:
http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/
And for general information on CLDR, see:
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/index.html
Please note that the freeze date for the next version of CLDR is January
15, 2004. All new data or defect reports for CLDR 1.3 must be submitted by
then.
