Hi!
As it is known, a lot of languages (locales) have more than one
"encodings" (charsets).
ru_RU.KOI8-R
ru.RU.ISO8859-5
ru.RU.CP-1251
ja_JP.ISO2022-JP
ja_JP.Shift-JIS
ja_JP.EUC-JP
Otherwise, locale name defined as :
language[.TERRITORY[.Codeset]]
So, there are "short" locale names where we'll lost "Charset" information.
ru
ru_RU
ja
ja_JP
I think, "short" locale names should be _aliases_to_UNICODE UTF-8
as Universal (default) Charset.
ru --> ru_RU --> ru_RU.UTF-8
ja --> ja_JP --> ja_JP.UTF-8
Any comments ?
