LANGUAGE is quite standard now (I never saw "LINGUA" however). > IMHO, they should have never been introduced. Why can't we just > use LC_MESSAGES? Because LC_MESSAGEs, like all LC_* must point to a valid and existing locale, and to *only one*. LANGUAGE don't have those limitations, it can point to a language name for which there isn't any locale defined yet, and you can provide a *list* of languages, by preferred order (that is indeed a very powerfull and appreciated feature). -- Ki �a vos v�ye b�n, Pablo Saratxaga http://chanae.walon.org/pablo/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0xD9B85466 [you can write me in Walloon, Spanish, French, English, Italian or Portuguese]
